Answer:
34
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount earned per hour = 17.00
Total hours worked = 40 hours
per week
Total amount earned in two weeks = 2(17.00 × 40)
= 2(680)
= 1,360
Tax = 1/4 of her paycheck
= 1/4 × 1,360
= 1,360/4
= 340
If Meredith earns a 10% raise in her hourly pay
Amount earned per hour = 10% of 17.00 + 17.00
= 0.1 × 17.00 + 17.00
= 1.7 + 17.00
= 18.7
Total hours worked = 40 hours
per week
Total amount earned in two weeks = 2(18.7 × 40)
= 2(748)
= 1,496
Tax = 1/4 of her paycheck
= 1/4 × 1,496
= 1,496/4
= 374
how much more will she pay in taxes
= 374 - 340
= 34
