1. 8/9 ÷ 4/9 is done by inverting the divisor (4/9) and then multiplying:
(8/9)(9/4) = 8/4 = 2 (answer)
2. 1/3 ÷ 6 is done similarly: (1/3)(1/6) = 1/18 (answer)
3. 4 ÷ 1/5 = 4 * 5 = 20 (answer)
4. 7 1/2 ÷ 1/4 = (15/2)(4/1) = 30 (answer)
14x + 10y = 72
14x + 4y = 96
6y = -24
6 6
y = -4
14x + 10y = 72
14x + 10(-4) = 72
14x - 40 = 72
+ 40 + 40
14x = 112
14 14
x = 8
(x, y) = (8, -4)
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.
No, but if it's an improper fraction it should be done
