Answer:
c) $ 75.37
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct question is:
Martha earned a gross pay of $1,215.60 last week. Using the fact that Social Security tax is 6.2% of gross pay, determine the
amount of Social security tax deducted from Martha's gross pay
a $7.54
b. $65.37
c. $75.37
d. $75.40
<u>ANSWER: </u>
<em>Martha's gross pay </em>= $ 1,215.60
<em>Social Security Tax </em>= 6.2%
<em><u>Calculate Social Security tax:</u></em>
6.2% of 1,215.60
6.2/100 x 1,215.60 = $ 75.37
Therefore, the correct answer is option c: $ 75.37

You can model this with the equation 4x+3=15 since it is a number (x) times 4 with 3 added and equals 15.
Subtract 3 from both sides
4x=12
Divide both sides by 4
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
y is easy.
it is the Hypotenuse (baseline) of the small right-angled triangle created by the height (8) of the main triangle, the segment 6 of the main Hypotenuse and y.
so, Pythagoras :
y² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100
y = 10
x is a bit more complex.
I think the easiest way to get it is to know that the height of a right-angled triangle to the Hypotenuse is the square root of the product of both segments of the Hypotenuse.
so, if we call the segments of the Hypotenuse a and b with a = 6, we have
x = a + b = 6 + b
height (8) = sqrt(a×b) = sqrt(6b)
therefore,
6b = height² = 8² = 64
b = 64/6 = 32/3 = 10 2/3 = 10.66666666...
so,
x = 6 + 10.66666... = 16.666666666...
round it to what is needed. e.g. 2 positions after the decimal point (hundredths) ? then it would be 10.67
