Sindrei [870]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

48 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

5:2:4

Sarah: 5

Natasha:2

Richard:4

To find out how many sweets Richard got, we need to use 60 as the lcm. Since, we have a definite constant of 60 we need to divide it by the presiding ratio.

60/5 = 12

That means for a ratio of 1, everyone in the group recieves 12.

Now, we plug it in for each of the members.

5x = Sarah

2x = Natasha

4x = Richard

Sarah = 60 sweets

Natasha = 24 sweets

Richard = 48 sweets

Janice works for a salary of $2,396 per month. She has federal income tax withheld at the rate of 15 percent, Social Security ta
MAVERICK [17]

Given that Janice monthly salary is $2,396. And she has deductions of federal income tax withheld at the rate 15%, social security tax at the rate of 6.2% and medicare tax at the rate of 1.45% and health insurance premium worth 95$ per month.

Let us calculate total deductions.

Federal income tax = 15% of 2396 = 0.15*2396      =$359.4

Social security tax  = 6.2% of 2396=0.062*2396    =$148.552

Medicare tax           = 1.45% of 2396= 0.0145*2396=$34.742

<u>health insurance premium                                         =$95          </u>

Total deductions                                                        = $637.694

To calculate Janice net pay we have to subtract deductions from monthly salary that is 2396-637.694 = $1758.306

Hence net pay of Janice is $1758.306 per month.

Simplify what is written here
Inessa05 [86]

When multiplying terms that have the same base (in this case, x) but different exponents, you can add their exponents to make them one term.


In this case, we can add the exponents of x:

x \cdot x^5 \cdot x^5

x^{(1 + 5 + 5)}

\boxed{x^{11}}


A simplified version is x^{11}.
