3p + 2n = 8.25 ....multiply by 2
2p + 3n = 8 .........multiply by -3
-------------------
6p + 4n = 16.5 (result of multiplying by 2)
-6p - 9n = - 24 (result of multiplying by -3)
-------------------add
-5n = - 7.5
n = -7.5 / -5
n = 1.50 .............notebooks cost 1.50 each

2p + 3n = 8
2p + 3(1.50) = 8
2p + 4.50 = 8
2p = 8 - 4.50
2p = 3.50
p = 3.50/2
p = 1.75......pens cost 1.75 each

so 2 pens and 2 notebooks cost : 2(1.75) + 2(1.50) = $ 6.50 <==

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

$300 was deducted from tax. The tax rate is 26.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

An employee earns a gross pay of $1,200.00 per week. The employee’s net pay is $850.00. The employee’s voluntary 401(k) contribution is $50.00 per month.

There was blank deducted for taxes. The tax rate is blank

Solution:

Contributions that are made for retirement such as 401(k) contribution plans are made on a pretax basis. This means that they are removed from your taxable income, thereby reducing the tax.

Gross pay = $1200

Taxable income = Gross pay -  401(k) contribution

Taxable income = $1200 - $50 = $1150

Net pay = $850

Tax = Taxable income - Net pay

Tax = $1150 - $850

Tax = $300

Tax rate = (Tax / taxable income) * 100%

Tax rate = ($300 / $1150) * 100% = 26.1%
