Answer:
3%, 84, 6%
Explanation:
So lets look at what they are saying. They say that the company lets Whitney match up to 6% of her salary.
They say that Whitney matches up ONLY 3% of her salary
They also say that Whitney's salary is is 2,800 dollars per month.
The firs question asks what percenage of her salary Whintney's company contributes.
They said that Whitney contributes 3% of her salary.
<u>So this means that the first answer box is 3%.</u> Remember that it would not be 6%, becuase that is the MAXIMUM percentage that whitney's emplyers can contrubite of her salary, not the actualy percentage that whitney's employers are actually contributing.
Next we they ask for the amount of money this eprcentage is.
To find this, take 3% of her smonthly salary, which we know is 2,800:
2800*0.03
=
84
<u>So we know that the answer for the second fill in box is 84.</u>
Finally we have the third fill in box which is asking what percentage of her salary Whitney SHOULD be contributing.
Well, recall that they said the MAXIMUM percentage the company will ocntribute is 6%? And Whitney is only contributing 3%?
<u>The answer to the last fill in box would be 6%</u>, since that is the MAXIMUM amount of money that can be put into her 401k. She is only putting in 3% of her salary, which isnt as benfical.
