denis23 [38]
To find simple interest: 

Time = Interest/(Principle)(Rate)

Interest is the amount of interest paid
Principle is the amount you lent or borrow
Rate is the percentage of principle charged as interest each year
Time is the years of the loan

P=Principle amount of $1,500
I=Interest amount of $1,200 (Take the new amount of $2,700 and subtract from the principle that is $1,500 which gives you $1,200)
r= as a decimal .15 (15%/100)
t=unknown

T=I/PR

T=1,200/(1,500)(.15)
T=1,200/225
T=5.3 years 

It would take Lance roughly 5.3 years

Calculate Payroll An employee earns $44 per hour and 1.5 times that rate for all hours in excess of 40 hours per week. Assume th
Marrrta [24]

Answer: $1750

Explanation:

Given Data

Earnings = $44/ hr

Overtime Earnings = 1.5 times Of $44

= $66

Hours worked during the week = 55 hrs

Social security tax rate = 6.0%

Medicare tax rate = 1.5%

Federal income tax = $633

Therefore:

Gross pay = Normal pay + overtime pay

Normal pay

= $44 * 40 hrs

= $1760

Overtime pay

= $66 * 15 hrs

= $990

Gross pay = $1760 + $990

= $1750

Social security tax

= 0.06 * $2750

= $165

Medicare tax

= 0.015 * $2750

= $41.25

Total tax

= $633 + $41.25 + $165

= $839.25

Net pay

= $2750 - $839.25

= $1910.75
