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

I don't know how to solve this. help please?
iragen [17]

Answer:

51   74

Step-by-step explanation:

x = smaller

x +23 = larger

added together   (x   + x+23)    equal to 28 less than 3x      = 3x-28

x    + x+23  = 3x-28      subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

   23 = x -28      add 28 to both sides

 51 = x      then the larger   =  51 + 23 = 74

The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to mak
Kay [80]

Answer:

Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Number of pounds of cashews = x

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y

The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to make a 34 pound mixture that sells for $5.44 per pound

Our system of equations is given as:

x + y = 34...... Equation 1

x = 34 - y

6x + 5y = 34 × 5.44

6x + 5y = 184.96.......Equation 2

Ww substitute : 34 - y for x in Equation 2

6(34 - y) + 5y = 184.96

204 - 6y + 5y = 184.96

Collect like terms

- 6y + 5y = 184.96 - 204

-y = -19.04

y = 19.04 pounds

Solving for x

x = 34 - y

x = 34 - 19.04

x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds
