Clarice Sloan is a shift supervisor for Ace

Igoryamba

The net pay is the amount left after taxes and deductions have been removed from the gross pay.

Her monthly gross pay is: $4111.93

The deductions are:

$\mathbf{FIT = \$102}$

$\mathbf{SIT = 3.2\%}$

$\mathbf{CIT = 1.8\%}$

Let her gross pay be x.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Net = x - FIT - x \times SIT - x \times CIT}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{3804.33 = x - 102 - x \times 3.2\%- x \times 1.8\%}$

Express percentage as decimals

$\mathbf{3804.33 = x - 102 - x \times 0.032- x \times 0.018}$

$\mathbf{3804.33 = x - 102 - 0.032x - 0.018x}$

Add 102 to both sides

$\mathbf{3906.33 = x - 0.032x - 0.018x}$

$\mathbf{3906.33 = 0.95x}$

Divide both sides by 0.95

$\mathbf{4111.93 = x}$

Rewrite as:

$\mathbf{x = 4111.93 }$

Hence, her monthly gross pay is: $4111.93

To solve the equation w/8 - 4 = 20, you would first add 4 to each side and then divide each side by 8. TrueFalse

MrRa [10]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part is correct because adding 4 to each side will help isolate the variable w, but since w is divided by 8 already you would want to multiply by 8 instead, so dividing each side by 8 would not work.
