Answer:

The fica tax deducted from Natasha gross pay be $266.83 .

Option (D) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Natasha's gross pay is $3488.

The social security tax is 6.2% of gross pay .

6.2% is written in the decimal form .

= \frac{6.2}{100}

= 0.062

Social Security tax = 0.062 × Gross pay

                               = 0.062 × 3488

                               = $ 216.256

As given

The medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay .

1.45% is written in the decimal form .

= \frac{1.45}{100}

= 0.0145

Medicure tax = 0.0145 × Gross pay

                      = 0.0145 × 3488

                      = $ 50.576 (Approx)

Thus

Gross pay deducted for fica tax = Social Security tax + Medicure tax

                                                       = $216.256 + $50.576

                                                       = $ 266.832

                                                       = $ 266.83 (Approx)

Therefore the fica tax deducted from Natasha gross pay be $266.83 .

Option (D) is correct .

If the fifth and eighth terms of an arithmetic sequence are minus 9 and minus 21, respectively, what are the first four terms of
Reil [10]
One way to do this problem is to determine the common difference.  If the 5th and 8th terms are -9 and -21, we can do this by subtracting -9 from -21:

-21-(-9) = -12.  The 5th and 8th terms are not consecutive, so we have to think in terms of (8-5), or 3, times the common difference to get from -9 to -21.

Note that -12 divided by 3 is -4.  Thus, the common difference is -4.

Check:  -9 - 4 = -13; -13 - 4 = -17; -17 - 4 = -21 (which is correct).

We know that the 5th term is -9.  To find the 4th term, work backwards:  subtract (-4) from -9, which produces -9+4=-5.

The fourth term is -5.  Subtracting -4 from this (which is the same as adding 4 to this -5) produces the third term; it is -1.  Can you now find the 2nd and 1st terms using the same approach?
