Answer: A) $1142.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Important Rule: Gross pay - Deduction

  • Gross pay = 1500                              
  • SS Tax = 6.2% <u>converts --></u> .062    
  • Medicare = 1.45% <u>converts --></u> .0145
  • Income = 16.2% <u>converts --></u> .162

NOW MULTIPLY

(1500)(0.62) = 93

(1500)(.0145) = 21.75

(1500)(.162) = 243

ADD ALL OF THESE TOGETHER

243 + 21.75 + 93 = 357.75 [Total Deduction is 357.75]

Remember that Gross Pay minus Deduction equals our Answer!

1500 - 357.75 = $1142.25

Answer:

$1,142.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross = $1500

Deductions = 6.2% + 1.45% + 16.2% = 23.85%

100% - 23.85% = 76.15%

100% = 1500

76.15$ = x

By cross multiplication

100x = 1500 * 76.15

x = $1,142.25

Suppose you can work at most a total of 25 hours per week. Baby-sitting, x, pays $6 per hour and working at the grocery store, y
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

<u><em>y=7  </em></u><u>number of hours at grocery store</u>

<u><em>x=18 </em></u><u>number of hours at baby- sitting</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information provided.

x is number of hours at baby- sitting

y is number of hours at grocery store

total number of hours worked

<em>1) </em><em>x+y =25</em>

total earn in a week

<em>2) </em><em>x*$6 + y* $9 = $171</em>

<em />

<em>from equation 1</em>

x+y=25

x= 25-y

<em>we place the above derived equation in equation 2 </em>

x*$6 + y* $9 = $171

(25-y)*$6 + y* $9 = $171

(25*6) -6y +9y =171

150+3y=171

3y=171-150

3y=21

<u><em>y=7  </em></u><u>number of hours at grocery store</u>

x= 25-y

x= 25-7

<u><em>x=18 </em></u><u>number of hours at baby- sitting</u>

Please help<br> Find the area in square units of ABC△ plotted below.
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Use the distance formula on both points AC and AB.

<em>Distance formula is this</em><em>:</em>

<em>\begin{gathered}d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{(1--5)^2+(8--7)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{(6)^2+(15)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{36+225} \\\\d=\sqrt{261} \\\\\end{gathered}d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2d=(1−−5)2+(8−−7)2d=(6)2+(15)2d=36+225d=261</em>

Distance for AC  is  16.16

Now do the same with the numbers for AB and get the distance of 5.39

2. To get the area, use the formula 1/2 x base x height

AB is the base and AC is the height.

1/2 x 16.16 x 5.39 = 43.55

the answer is 43.5
