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.

a rhombus as an area of 72 ft and the product of the diagonals is 144. What is the length of each diagonal?
SashulF [63]

A = (1/2)(x)(y)

Let x = diagonal 1

Let y = diagonal 2

The product of xy = 144.

This means that x = 12 and y = 12.

So, 12 • 12 = 144

Each diagonal is 12 feet.

Prove:

72 feet = (1/2)(12)(12) feet

72 feet = (1/2)(144) feet

72 feet = 72 feet

A store owner buys a case of 144 pens for $28.80. He sells the pens for $0.40 each. The owner claims that they marked the pens u
stellarik [79]

Answer: $0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The owner buys 144 pens for $28.80 i.e. each pen costs

\dfrac{28.80}{144}=\$0.2

owner sells the pen at $0.4 i.e. price marked up by

\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.4-0.2}{0.2}\times 100=100\%

So, the claim of the owner is incorrect

The actual increase in the price to get 50% markup

\Rightarrow 0.2\times (1+0.5)=\$0.3
