Answer:

To save 6 months' worth in a fund would be $2858.59.

Step-by-step explanation:

At a wage of $13.70 per hour for a 40 hour work week, your gross pay (not including any taxes or deductions) is $548 per week, or $2192 per month.  Deductions and taxes are 7.65% + 11.55% + 8.35%, for a total of 27.55% that comes out of your gross pay.  $2192 multiplied by 27.55%, or .2755, is $603.90, therefore, in order to find your realized income per month, you must subtract your gross pay by the amount of deductions and tax withholdings:  $2192 - $603.90 = 1588.10.  Another 30% of your realized income is for housing and fixed expenses, or $1588.10 multiplied by 30%, or 0.30, which comes to $476.43.  If you want to save 6 months' of expenses in an emergency fund, simply take your monthly expenses, $476.43, and multiply by 6 = $2,858.59.

Andrea conducts a science experiment and observes that the height of a plant depends on the amount of sunlight it receives. The
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

f(h) = 0.004s + 37

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct representation of the height of the plant is;

          f(h) = 0.004s + 37

Given parameters;

  Height of plant  = 37cm

  Rate of growth  = 0.004cm/hr

  Number of hours of sunlight  = s

To solve this problem, the height of the plant is directly dependent on the amount of sunlight;

     f(h) signifies that height is a function

The height of the plant is 37cm;

         f(h) = 37

The plant grows at a rate of 0.004cm/hr;  number of hours of sunlight is s;

       0.004s

Therefore;

  f(h) = 37 + 0.004s
