Six pounds of strawberries cost $11.94. What is the cost of eight pounds?

Mathematics

Answer:

$15.92

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I did this problem is dividing $11.94 by 6, to get $1.99.

That is the unit price for price per pound. Then, multiply that by 8, since you have 8 pounds of strawberries. You get $15.92. You can also multiply $11.94 by 8/6 or divide it by 6/8. Hope this helps.

To solve this you need to find out how much one pound of strawberries cost. This would be equivalent to $/lbs

We know that 6 pounds costs $11.94

$/lbs = $11.94 / 6 lbs

$1.99 / 1 lbs

One pound of strawberries costs $1.99

To find out how much eight pounds of strawberries cost you must multiply the cost of one pound ($1.99) by 8

1.99 * 8 = 15.92

Eight pounds of strawberries costs $15.92

Hope this helped!

Tonja is a married taxpayer who claims 2 withholding allowances. She earns
viva [34]

The amount that Tonja will save in Federal Income and FICA Taxes if she has her childcare expenses deducted from her check before taxes is: $26.17

<h3>What is Federal Income Tax?</h3>

Federal Income Tax is a tax that is levied by the Federal Government and most states in the United States of America. It comprises of 7 tax rates.

<h3>What is FICA Tax?</h3>

FICA Tax is a Federal Insurance Contributions Act Tax. This tax is levied on every payroll of employees to fund Social Security and Medicare programs. This is divided into two parts:

  • Social Security Tax which is 6.2% and
  • Medicare Tax which is 1.45%. The total is 7.65%

How to calculate Tonja's Tax before deduction

Federal Tax rate first level is 10% on 0$ - $19,900.

1) Hence, the first tax is 10% on $600, which is $60

2) The next tax is FICA. This is applied to the Gross Pay of $600.

Applying both taxed under FICA we have 7.65% * $600 = $45.9

Total Tax before a deduction is:

$60 + $45.9 = $105.6

The Tax Payable if childcare expenses is deducted first will be:

10% on $450     = $45

7.65% on $450 = $34.43

Total                   = $79.43

Hence the tax savings will be:

105.6 - 79.43 = $26.17

What is 8/15÷2/5?What so u think is the best answer for this problem??
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve. Change the division sign into a multiplication, and flip the second fraction:

(8/15)/(2/5) = (8/15) x (5/2)

Multiply across:

(8 x 5)/(15 x 2) = (40)/(30)

Simplify. Divide common factors:

(40/30)/(10/10) = 4/3

4/3 or 1 1/3 is your answer.
