By subtracting the winner wagers first and then applying the takeout rate implies that winning wagers are NOT charged takeout which is incorrect.

Yes, that is correct. That was how I did it. I subtracted $8,372, which is 16% of $52,325 (the total place pool). As Ranger said, I should have actually subtracted 17%, since that is the takeout on WPS bets in Florida.
