Question

1. Ruth Lockwood earns $2,917 a month as a supervisor for Acme

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 25%

b. $1560

c. $130

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

If 75% is paid by company, the rest is paid by Ruth.

Out of 100%, 75% is paid by company, so Ruth pays 100 - 75 = 25%

b.

Per year, the total amount paid is 6240, but Ruth pas 25% of this. So,

25% = 0.25

To get the answer, we multiply 0.25 with 6240.

0.25 * 6240 = 1560

So, $1560 is paid by Ruth annually.

c.

Since 1560 is paid annually (in 12 months), each month Ruth has to pay:

1560/12 = $130

Hence, $130 is deducted each month from her paycheck
