Can you explain how this is calculated?

Martin Hughes earns net self-employment income of $152,000. He works a second job from which he receives FICA taxable earnings of $94,600. I have to figure the self employment tax.

I am using the 128400 - 94600 = 33800 * 15.3% = 5171.40

152000 - 33800=118200 * 2.9% = 3427.80

3427.80 + 5171.40 = 8599.20

It says I am wrong.
