Answer:
$3066
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that employees in 2012 paid 4.2% of their gross wages toward social security (FICA tax), while employers paid another 6.2%. We are asked to find the amount paid by an employee earning $73,000 per year toward social security.
To find the amount paid by an employee with annual gross earnings of $73,000, we need to find 4.2% of $73,000.



Therefore, the employee will pay $3066 toward social security out of their gross wages.
Its 6,400 because 5 or above give it a shove .
So 84%=1050
what is left is 100%-84%=16%
equal ratios
1050 to 84=x to 16
1050:84=x:16
fractionify
1050/84=x/16
multiply both sides
by 16
16800/84=x
simplify
200=x
answer is 200 is left
