We have been given that the take home pay is $1500 and 22% is withheld as taxes.

Let us assume that the gross pay is x dollars. Therefore, take home pay must be 78% of x because 22% of the pay is withheld as taxes, so you get to take home only 78% of the gross pay.

Since we have been given that take home pay is $1500 and it is 78% of the total gross pay. Therefore, we can set up an equation:

$78\%\text{ of }x=1500\\\frac{78}{100}x=1500\\0.78x=1500\\x=\frac{1500}{0.78}\\x=\$1923.08$

Therefore, gross pay is $1923.08

The amount of gross pay is $\boxed{\$\ 1,923.07}$ .

Further explanation:

The gross income is the total income that a person earn.

As per the government policy every person have to pay the taxes which is some percent of your gross income.

Therefore, the net income is the end result after various deductions of taxes from the gross income.

The gross income can be calculated as follows:

$\boxed{\text{Gross income}=\text{Net income}+\text{Taxes}}$

The taxes are levied by the government on your gross income.

Therefore, the amount of taxes can be calculated as follows:

$\boxed{\text{Tax}=\dfrac{\text{Tax\%}}{100}\cdot \text{gross income}}$

Given:

The home pay as net income is $\$\ 1,500$ and the tax levied by the government is $22\%$ .

Calculation:

Step 1:

Consider $x$ as the gross income in dollars.

The taxes imposed on income is $22\%$ .

Use the formula of taxes to calculate the amount of tax paid.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Tax paid}&=\dfrac{22}{100}\cdot x\\&=0.22x\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the amount of tax is $0.22x$ .

Step 2:

Now, we have to calculate the value of gross pay.

The given net income is $\$\ 1,500$ and the amount of tax is $0.22x$ .

Use the formula of gross income and substitute the value of net income and the amount of tax.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Gross income}&=\text{Net income}+\text{Taxes}\\x&=1500+0.22x\\x-0.22x&=1500\\0.78x&=1500\end{aligned}$

Further solve the above equation to obtain the value of $x$ .

$\begin{aligned}x&=\dfrac{1500}{0.78}\\&=\dfrac{1500}{78}\cdot 100\\&=1923.07\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the value of $x$ is as follows:

$\boxed{x=1923.07}$

Thus, the amount of gross pay is $\boxed{\$\ 1,923.07}$ .

Considering only the values of β for which sinβtanβsecβcotβ is defined, which of the following expressions is equivalent to sinβ

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

$\tan(\beta)$

Step-by-step explanation:

For many of these identities, it is helpful to convert everything to sine and cosine, see what cancels, and then work to build out to something. If you have options that you're building toward, aim toward one of them.

${\tan(\theta)}={\dfrac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}$ and ${\sec(\theta)}={\dfrac{1}{\cos(\theta)}$

Recall the following reciprocal identity:

$\cot(\theta)=\dfrac{1}{\tan(\theta)}=\dfrac{1}{ \left ( \dfrac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} \right )} =\dfrac{\cos(\theta)}{\sin(\theta)}$

So, the original expression can be written in terms of only sines and cosines:

$\sin(\beta)\tan(\beta)\sec(\beta)\cot(\beta)$

$\sin(\beta) * \dfrac{\sin(\beta) }{\cos(\beta) } * \dfrac{1 }{\cos(\beta) } * \dfrac{\cos(\beta) } {\sin(\beta) }$

$\sin(\beta) * \dfrac{\sin(\beta) \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{---}}{\cos(\beta) \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{---}} * \dfrac{1 }{\cos(\beta) } * \dfrac{\cos(\beta) \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{---}} {\sin(\beta) \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{---}}$

$\sin(\beta) *\dfrac{1 }{\cos(\beta) }$

$\dfrac{\sin(\beta)}{\cos(\beta) }$

Working toward one of the answers provided, this is the tangent function.

The one caveat is that the original expression also was undefined for values of beta that caused the sine function to be zero, whereas this simplified function is only undefined for values of beta where the cosine is equal to zero. However, the questions states that we are only considering values for which the original expression is defined, so, excluding those values of beta, the original expression is equivalent to $\tan(\beta)$ .

Michelle has $8 and wants to buy a combination of dog food to feed at least two dogs at the animal shelter. A serving of dry foo

Ghella [55]

Answer:

PART A: Inequality (a)

Solve for y

The graph of y ≥ ⅓(8-x) is represented by the upper red line and all points in the shaded area below it. The line is solid because points on the line satisfy the conditions.

Inequality (b)

Solve for y

The graph of y ≥ 2 - x is represented by the lower blue line and all points in the shaded area above it. The line is solid because points on the line satisfy the conditions. The solution lies in the purple area. It consists of all combinations of x and y that make y ≥ ⅓(8 - x) and y ≥ 2 - x. A practical but not a mathematical condition is that all values of x and y must be zero or positive numbers (for example, you can't have -2 servings of food), so I have plotted only the numbers in the first quadrant.

PART B: If a point is a solution of the system, then the point must satisfy both inequalities of the system.

For x=8, y=2. Verify inequality A is not true. So the point does not satisfy inequality A. Therefore, the point is not included in the solution area for the system.

PART C: I choose the point (3,1) which is included in the solution area for the system.

That means Michelle buys 3 serves of dry food and 1 serving of wet food.
