The answer is -52
First you must substitute the variables
Then you must simplify
State tax = 2% of $215 = 0.02 x $215 = $4.30
city tax = 1% of $215 = 0.01 x $215 = $2.15
retirement fund = 3% of $215 = 0.03 x $215 = $6.45
Total deductions = $15.16 + $29.33 + $4.30 + $2.15 + $6.45 = $57.39
Net income = $215 - $57.39 = $157.61
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
12x+252=324
Subtract 252 from each side
12x+252-252=324-252
12x =72
Divide each side by 12
12x/12 = 72/12
x =6
Before we figure out how many customers you will need to talk per day to reach your goal, let's calculate what is 20% of how many customers you normally talk to a day.
current no. = 8
goal = 8 + 20%
20% = 8 x 0.20
(a percent is really just a fraction with the percent number over 100)
20% = 1.60
goal = 8 + 1.60
goal = 9.60
However, there is no such thing as .60 of a person so we will have to round up. You will need to talk to 10 customers per day.
