You earn $8.60/hr. You work 32 hr/wk and your deductions are FICA (7.65%), federal tax withholding (10.6%), and state tax withho

Olin [163]

Answer:

Your bi-weekly deposit is $404.54.

Step-by-step explanation:

At a $8.60 per hour wage for 32 hours per week, your gross pay each week is $275.20, or $550.40. However, your deductions and tax withholdings total 26.5% taken from your gross pay. Multiplying $550.40 by 26.5%, or .265, is a total of $145.86. Your realized income, or what you will make after taxes, would be $550.40-$145.86 = $404.54. So, every two weeks, or bi-weekly, your direct deposit would be in the amount of $404.54.

Steve bought a new TV that cost $399.95. the laptop was on sale for 20% off. If the sales tax is 6.5% how much will he pay for t

lakkis [162]

20% off $399.95 is the same as $399.95*.8=$319.96
now add the sales tax $319.96*.065 = $20.80 (rounded to the nearest penny)

add 319.96 + 20.80 for the answer

A rectangular garden is 8 metres longer than it is wide. if its area is 240m2 , how many metres is the width (ie. the shortest s

Snezhnost [94]

Area of a rectangle is length by width, width is x, length is x+8
x×(x+8)=240
x²+8x=240
x²+8x-240=0
Use the quadratic formula to solve
$x=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}
x=\frac{-8±\sqrt{8^{2}-4(1)(-240)}}{2(1)}
x=\frac{-8±\sqrt{64-4(-240)}}{2}$ $x=\frac{-8±\sqrt{1024}}{2}
x=\frac{-8±32}{2}
x=\frac{24}{2} OR \frac{-40}{2}
x=12 OR -20$
It is a distance so can't be negative, so the answer must be 12
