Brian's gross earnings for the week of July 8, 2019, are $1227.38. His deductions comprise 23% of his total compensation.

What is his net pay?

Enter the answer to the nearest hundredth, such as $1234.56.

Answer:

Brian's Net pay is $945.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Gross earnings for the week = $1227.38

Deductions = 23%

We need to find the net pay.

Solution:

First we will find the amount deducted.

amount deducted is equal to Deductions on Gross pay.

framing in equation form we get;

amount deducted = $\frac{23}{100}\times 1227.38 = \$282.2974$

Now we can say that;

Net pay is equal to Gross earnings minus amount deducted in tax.

framing in equation form we get;

Net pay = $1227.38-282.2974 = \$945.0826$

Rounding to nearest hundred we get;

Net pay = $945.08

Hence Brian's Net pay is $945.08.

Answer:

$2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Every time the x-value increases by 1, the y-value increases by 2. Therefore, the slope of the line must be equal to $2/1=\boxed{2}$ (rise/y-values over run/x-values). In slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$ , $m$ represents the slope of the line, $b$ represents the y-intercept, and $(x,y)$ represents any point the line passes through.

Since $m$ represents the slope of the line, the value of

While the question only asks for this value, it's good to note that the equation of the function is $y=2x+7$ (find 7 by substituting any ordered pair in the table with $m=2$ ).
