Answer:
Lucas monthly net pay is $1758
Step-by-step explanation:
Lucas works for a salary of $2,396 per month.
His deductions include $360 of federal income tax,
$148 for Social Security,
$35 for Medicare, and
a $95 insurance premium.
Now,
2396 - 360 - 148 - 35 - 95 = 1758
Thus, Lucas monthly net pay is $1758

A good way of doing this problem would be to use cross multiplication of ratios
<u />

Then cross multiply
(10 girls)(270 students)=(X girls)(18 students)
2700=18x
150=x
Again, a spreadsheet or suitable calculator makes this short work.
The sum is 184.
_____
The terms being summed are ...
2·3² +3 = 2·9 +3 = 18 +3 = 21
2·4² +3 = 35
2·5² +3 = 53
2·6² +3 = 75
Their total is
21 +35 +53 +75 = 184
The best choice would be neither
