Answer:
b. $129.04
Explanation:
Gross pay refers to salary before taxation. We were given Chuck's salary before tax to be $815.70
Gross pay = $815.70
<u>The following items were withheld:</u>
Federal tax = $56,
Social security tax = 6.2% of gross pay = 0.062 * 815.70 = $50.57
Medicare tax = 1.45% of gross pay = 0.0145 * 815.70 = $11.83
State tax = 19% of Federal tax = 0.19 * 56 = $10.64
To calculate how much of Chuck's salary will be withheld, we have the summation of all the items withheld
Total reduction = $ (56 + 50.57 + 11.83 + 10.64)
Total reduction = $<u>129.04</u>
<u>Hence, </u><u>$129.04</u><u> will be reduced from Chuck's gross pay</u>
San Andreas fault is a transform fault- it means that the two plates are not getting closer and converging or getting away from each other and diverging but rather moving in different directions - the American part is moving South and the Pacific part is moving North.
Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater). This form of environmental degradation occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.
Water pollution affects the entire biosphere – plants and organisms living in these bodies of water. In almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and population, but also to the natural biological communities.
