Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change for the table is found using the slope formula. The rate of change for the linear function is the coefficient of x.

<h3>table</h3>

The slope formula tells us the rate of change is ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (-9 -(-10))/(-1 -(-4)) = 1/3

<h3>equation</h3>

The coefficient of x in the equations of the offered answer choices are 1/4 and 6.

<h3>comparison</h3>

The relations between the various slopes are ...

1/4 < 1/3 < 6

That is, the equation with a slope of 1/4 has a rate of change less than that of the function represented by the table:

y = 1/4x +4 because ... table of values is 1/3

Employees in 2012 paid 4.2% of their gross wages toward social security (FICA tax), while employers paid another 6.2%. How much

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

$3066

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that employees in 2012 paid 4.2% of their gross wages toward social security (FICA tax), while employers paid another 6.2%. We are asked to find the amount paid by an employee earning $73,000 per year toward social security.

To find the amount paid by an employee with annual gross earnings of $73,000, we need to find 4.2% of $73,000.

$\text{Amount paid by the employee}=\$73,000\times \frac{4.2}{100}$
