Answer:

The Social Security Administration increased the taxable wage base from $106,800 to $110,100.

A:

The percent increase in the base =

\frac{110100-106800}{106800}\times100=3.09%

B:

Previous year tax = 0.062\times106800=6621.60 dollars

This year tax = 0.062\times110100=6826.20 dollars

Increase in tax = 6826.20-6621.60=204.60 dollars

Hence, Joe’s increase in Social Security tax for the new year is $204.60.

You measure a piece of rope and find its length to be 13 m. Find the percent error of this measurement.
ella [17]
You cannot find the percent error of data without knowing the true length of the rope, as percent error is essentially a comparison between what you measured and what it actually is.

What is the volume of a certain cube? (1) The sum of the lengths of the edges of the cube is 36. (2) The surface area of the cub
german

Answer:

(1) The sum of the lengths of the edges of the cube is 36.

A cube has 12 equal edges. Sum = 36. Length of each edge = 36/12 = 3

Volume = 3*3*3 = 27

(2) The surface area of the cube is 54.

A cube has 6 identical faces. Area of each face = s^2 (s is the length of the side)

6s^2 = 54

s = 3

Volume = 3*3*3 = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to uniquely define a cube is any one measurement - length of a side/edge, area of a surface, volume etc. If you have any one of them, you can uniquely determine the others. So each statement alone is sufficient here.

To show how,

(1) The sum of the lengths of the edges of the cube is 36.

A cube has 12 equal edges. Sum = 36. Length of each edge = 36/12 = 3

Volume = 3*3*3 = 27

(2) The surface area of the cube is 54.

A cube has 6 identical faces. Area of each face = s^2 (s is the length of the side)

6s^2 = 54

s = 3

Volume = 3*3*3 = 27

Suppose a certain home improvement outlet knows that the monthly demand for framing studs is 2,300 when the price is $4.77 each
pogonyaev

Answer:

p + 0.0001q = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

When Price, p₁ = $4.77 ; Demand, q₁ = 2,300

and,

When Price, p₂ = 3,300 ; Demand, q₂ = 3,300

considering the above as the points on the line,

now, the general equation for a line is given as:

\frac{q_1-q}{p_1-p}=\frac{q_2-q_1}{p_2-p_1}

on substituting the respective values, we get

\frac{2,300-q}{4.77-p}=\frac{3,300-2,300}{4.67-4.77}

or

\frac{2,300-q}{4.77-p}=\frac{1000}{-0.1}

or

2,300 - q = -10,000(4.77 - p)

or

⇒ 2,300 - q = -47700 + 10,000p

or

⇒ 10,000p + q = 2300 + 47700

or

⇒ 10,000p + q = 50000

or

⇒ p + 0.0001q = 5
