Answer:

Ben is 33 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ben’s age = B

Let Daniel’s age = x


B = x + 20  (20 years older than Daniel)


Their ages 3 years ago:

B = 3x  (also given in problem)

B = x + 20  (given in problem)

x + 20 = 3x  (Since both equations are equal to B, set them equal to each other)

20 = 2x (simplify)

x = 10

B = 10 + 20 = 30


Their ages now:

Add 3 to their "ages three years ago"

New x = Daniel’s age = old age + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13 years old

B = Ben’s age = old age + 3 = 30 + 3  = 33 years old

Answer: 33

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

           <u>Today </u>                <u>3 years ago</u>

Ben:   x + 20                  (x + 20) - 3    

Dan:     x                          x - 3


  3 years ago, Ben was 3 times as old as Daniel

⇒  (x + 20) - 3  = 3(x - 3)

       x + 17        = 3x - 9

             17        = 2x - 9

             26       = 2x

             13        = x


Today, Ben = x + 20

                   = 13 + 20

                   = 33

Raquel has gross pay of $732 and federal tax withholdings of $62. Determine Raquel’s net pay if she has the additional items wit
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The net pay of the Raquel be $601 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Raquel has gross pay of $732 and federal tax withholdings of $62.

Social Security tax that is 6.2% of her gross pay .

6.2% is written in the decimal form.

= \frac{6.2}{100}

= 0.062

Social Security tax = 0.062 × Gross pay

                              = 0.062 × 732

                               = $ 45.38 (Approx)

As given

Medicare tax that is 1.45% of her gross pay .

1.45% is written in the decimal form.

= \frac{1.45}{100}

= 0.0145

Medicare Tax = 0.0145 × Gross pay

                       = 0.0145 × 732

                       = $ 10.6 (Approx)

As given

State tax that is 21% of her federal tax.

21% is written in the decimal form.

= \frac{21}{100}

= 0.21

State tax = 0.21 × Federal tax

              = 0.21 × 62

              = $13.02

Total amount of the tax = Federal tax + Social Security tax + Medicare Tax + State tax

Putting all the values in the above

                                      = $62 + $45.38 +$10.6 + $13.02

                                      = $ 131

Raquel’s net pay = Gross pay - Total amount of taxes

                             = $732 - $131

                             = $ 601

Therefore the net pay of the Raquel be $601 .
