Consider all employees.

A.

  • gross pay $32,600 - 100%,
  • total job benefits $33,600 - x%.

Then

\dfrac{32,600}{33,600}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,600\cdot x=33,600\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,600\cdot 100}{32,600}=\dfrac{33,600}{326} \approx 103.07.

Employee A receives 3.07% of gross pay in employee benefits.

B.

  • gross pay $32,900 - 100%,
  • total job benefits $34,000 - x%.

Then

\dfrac{32,900}{34,000}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,900\cdot x=34,000\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,000\cdot 100}{32,900}=\dfrac{34,000}{329} \approx 103.34.

Employee B receives 3.34% of gross pay in employee benefits.

C.

  • gross pay $33,400 - 100%,
  • total job benefits $33,900 - x%.

Then

\dfrac{33,400}{33,900}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,400\cdot x=33,900\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,900\cdot 100}{33,400}=\dfrac{33,900}{334} \approx 101.50.

Employee C receives 1.50% of gross pay in employee benefits.

D.

  • gross pay $33,700 - 100%,
  • total job benefits $34,700 - x%.

Then

\dfrac{33,700}{34,700}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,700\cdot x=34,700\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,700\cdot 100}{33,700}=\dfrac{34,700}{337} \approx 102.97.

Employee D receives 2.97% of gross pay in employee benefits.

Answer: correct choice is B.

\boxed{{\text{Percentage of gross pay in employee benefit}}= {\text{Total job benefit - gross pay}}}.

Given:

The options ofemployee benefits are as follows,

(a).Employee A: gross pay $32,600, total job benefits $33,600

(b).Employee B: gross pay $32,900, total job benefits $34,000

(c).Employee C: gross pay $33,400, total job benefits $33,900

(d).Employee D: gross pay $33,700, total job benefits $34,700

Explanation:

Percentage of gross pay in employee benefit in option (a) can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}&{\text{Percentage = Total job benefit - Gross pay}}\\&=33600 - 32600\\&= 1000\\\end{aligned}

Percentage of gross pay in employee benefit in option (b) can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}&{\text{Percentage = Total job benefit - Gross pay}}\\&= 34000 - 32900\\&=1100\\\end{aligned}

Percentage of gross pay in employee benefit in option (c) can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}&{\text{Percentage = Total job benefit - Gross pay}}\\&=33900 - 33400\\&=500\\\end{aligned}

Percentage of gross pay in employee benefit in option (d) can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}&{\text{Percentage = Total job benefit - Gross pay}}\\&= 34700 - 33700\\&= 1000\\\end{aligned}

Hence, the largest percentage of their gross pay in employee benefits is \boxed{\$ 1100} in option (c).

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

\dfrac{-1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find ration numbers between -1 and 1.

Multiplying and dividing both -1 and 1 by 2.

\dfrac{-1\times 2}{2}=\dfrac{-2}{2}

and \dfrac{1\times 2}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}

Now, the rational number between -2/2 and 2/2 is \dfrac{-1}{2}.
