Answer:

y = 0.0765x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

y is the total taxes paid.

x is the total wages earned.

The total taxes paid is a function of the total wages earned.

For wages less than the maximum taxable wage base, Social Security contributions (including those for Medicare) by employees are 7.65% of the employee's wages.

So 7.65% of the total wages earned are paid in taxes. We write the percentage as a decimal, so 7.65/100 = 0.0765

So the answer for a) is:

y = 0.0765x

The expression 24(1−x) gives the discounted price of a pair of shorts, where x is the percent of the discount written in decimal
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

1-x represents the percent of the original price being paid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 24(1−x) gives the discounted price of a pair of shorts, where x is the percent of the discount written in decimal form.

For example , 10% is the discount percentage

1 - 10% = 90% will be the percentage of original price to be paid

Here x represents the percent of the discount

so 1-x represents the percent of the original price being paid.

Purple flower color is dominant to white flower color. If pure-breeding purple flowering plants are crossed with pure-breeding w
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The phenotypic ratio of the offspring will be 100% of purple flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mendel's first law states that if two pure lines are crossed for a given character, the descendants of the first generation will all be equal to each other, phenotypically and genotypically, and phenotypically equal to one of the parents (of dominant genotype).

The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment.

We represent the possibilities of hybridization using a Punnett square in the attached picture.

Uppercase letters represent dominant alleles and lowercase letters represent recessive alleles.

Homozygous individuals have the same pair of alleles. (AA, aa)

We can verify that all offspring have a dominant allele, therefore all offspring will have purple flowers.
