Answer:

$2.24 / lb

Step-by-step explanation:

$1 = 100 cents

16 oz = 1 lb

14 cents/oz *\frac{1 dollar}{100 cents}*\frac{16oz}{1lb}

Simplified,

\frac{14 *16}{100}

\frac{224}{100} = $2.24/ lb

<h3>The answer that goes in the blank is 2.24     </h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

There are various was to do this. One way is using what some math books may call the "rail road tracks method". If you look below at the attached image (specifically figure 1), you'll probably see why the method is called this. The black straight lines form a "railroad" track of sort

The first column has "14 cents" over "1 ounce" to represent "14 cents per ounce".

The next column over has "16 ounces" over "1 pound". This is used to help convert from ounces to pounds. Recall that 1 pound = 16 ounces.

Finally, the last column has "1 dollar" over "100 cents", which is handy to convert from cents to dollars.

Figure 1 of the attached image is the original setup. Figure 2 is where I've crossed off the units that cancel out. What's left over are "dollars" over "pounds" which is what we want of having "dollars per pound" as the final unit.

--------------

Across the top row, multiply the values out: 14*16*1 = 224

Do the same for the bottom row: 1*1*100 = 100

Then divide the two results: 224/100 = 2.24

--------------

Therefore, 14 cents per ounce converts to 2.24 dollars per pound.

Answer:

  1. asymptotes: x=-6, x=6, y=0; zero: x=0

  2. 20 blue fish

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The vertical asymptotes are where the denominator is zero. It factors as (x-6)(x+6), so will have zeros at x=-6 and x=6.

The horizontal asymptote is at the limit when x goes to infinity. Here, the ratio of highest-degree terms is 6/x, so the value goes to zero as x gets large.

The zero is where the numerator is zero, at x=0.

In summary:

  • vertical asymptotes: x = ±6
  • horizontal asymptote: y = 0
  • zero: (0, 0)

__

2. 60% are red, so 40% are blue. The difference in percentages is 60%-40% = 20%. The percentage of blue fish (40%) is twice the difference (=2×20%), so the number of blue fish is twice the difference in numbers.

  blue fish = 2×10 = 20 fish

<em><u>Check</u></em>

There are then 20+10=30 red fish, so 20+30=50 fish total. Reds are 30/50 = 60% of the total.

<u><em>Additional comment</em></u>

I find it often works well to work with ratios, which I can often do in my head. Other folks like to see equations. Here, we could write equations like ...

  r = 60%(r + b) . . . . reds are 60% of the total

  r - b = 10 . . . . . . . . 10 more reds than blues

We want the value of b, so we can eliminate r by substituting for it:

  r = 10 + b . . . . from the second equation above

  (10 +b) = 0.60((10 +b) + b) . . . . substitute for r

  10 +b = 6 + 1.2b . . . simplify

  4 = 0.2b . . . . subtract b+6

  20 = b . . . . . . multiply by 5 (there are 20 blue fish)

If you are self-employed, you don't have to pay FICA on all your salary, just on 92.35% of it. If your salary is $128,255 what i
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The amount that I am required to pay monthly as FICA if my salary remains constant is $18,121.85¢

Step-by-step explanation:

Federal insurance contributions act is a law that mandates all employers of labour to withhold medicare and certain taxes from the wages that are paid to employees or workers. These taxes are remitted to the government later which is then used for the provision of basic amenities and quality health care.

Since, I am only required by law to pay FICA on only 92.35% of my monthly salary, we need to calculate the the actual amount that makes up 92.35 percent of my monthly salary.

If $128,255 is my current monthly salary, then 92.35% of it will be:

92.35/100 × 128,255

= 0.9235 × 128,255

= $118,443.49¢

This is the part of his monthly salary that he is required by law to pay FICA on.

Then, if FICA is 15.3% of a worker's taxable income, then I am required to pay 15.3% of the taxable $118,443.49¢ since I am self employed and mustn't pay it on the entire $128,255 that I earn monthly.

My monthly FICA contribution is then:

15.3/100 × 118,443.49

= 0.153 × 118,443.49

= $18,121.85¢.

Therefore, if my salary remains constant, the amount that I am required by law to pay monthly as FICA is $18,121.85
