<h3><u><em>Question:</em></u></h3>

Chevy has some yarn that he wants to use to make hats and scarves. Each hat uses 0.2 kilograms of yarn and  each scarf uses 0.1 kilograms of yarn. Chevy wants to use 2 kilograms of yarn to make a total of 15 items.

Let h be the number of hats Chevy makes and s be the number of scarves he makes.

Which system of equations represents this situation?​

<h3><em><u>Answer:</u></em></h3>

<em><u>The system of equations represents this situation are:</u></em>

h + s = 15

0.2h + 0.1s = 2

5 hats and 10 scarves are made

<h3><u><em>Solution:</em></u></h3>

From given,

Let "h" be the number of hats Chevy made

Let "s" be the number of scarves made

<em><u>They made a total of 15 items</u></em>

Therefore, we get,

h + s = 15 --------- eqn 1

Also given that,

Each hat uses 0.2 kilograms of yarn

Each scarf uses 0.1 kilograms of yarn

<em><u>Chevy wants to use 2 kilograms of yarn</u></em>

<em><u>Therefore, we frame a equation as:</u></em>

0.2 \times h + 0.1 \times s = 2

0.2h + 0.1s = 2 --------- eqn 2

Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 represents the system of equations

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>From eqn 1,</u></em>

h = 15 - s ------ eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

0.2(15 - s) + 0.1s = 2

3 - 0.2s + 0.1s = 2

0.1s = 1

s = 10

<em><u>Substitute s = 10 in eqn 3</u></em>

h = 15 - 10

h = 5

Thus 5 hats and 10 scarves are made

Find the missing length indicated​
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

x = 135

Step-by-step explanation:

The three triangles are similar.

144/y = y/81

y^2 = 144 * 81

y = 12 * 9

y = 108

81^ + 108^2 = x^2

x^2 = 18225

x = 135

(a) What was Jennifer’s gross pay for the year?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Part a: From column 1 of the attached Wage and Tax statement, the gross pay is $34854.

Part b: From column 17 of the attached Wage and Tax statement, she paid $1762.39 in state income tax.

Part c: It should be $2160.95 instead of $2164.44

Part d: It should be $505.38 instead of $467.68

Part e: FICA Tax is $2665.38

Part f: She owes the difference $16.52 to the Federal Tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

As data was missing from the question, the complete question is found online and is attached herewith.

Part a:

From column 1 of the attached Wage and Tax statement, the gross pay is $34854.

Part b:

From column 17 of the attached Wage and Tax statement, she paid $1762.39 in state income tax.

Part c:

For 2012, Social Security Tax is given as 6.2% of the gross pay so

Item 4 should then be

6.2% x Gross Income

6.2% x 34854

.062 * 34854 = 2160.95

It should be $2160.95 instead of $2164.44

Part d

For 2012, Medicare Tax is given as 1.45% of the gross pay so

Item 6 should then be

1.45% x Gross Income

1.45% x 34854

.0145 * 34854 = 505.38

It should be $505.38 instead of $467.68

Part e

FICA tax is  given as sum of Social security tax and  Medicare taxes. This is given as

FICA Tax=Social Security Tax+Medicare Tax

FICA Tax=$2160+$505.38

FICA Tax=$2665.38

FICA Tax is $2665.38

Part f

From  the attached table, with $32104 as the  taxable income, as the head of household she owes $4199 in Federal tax.

From the attached wages and tax statement in column 2, she paid $4182.48. Thus she owes the difference $16.52 to the Federal Tax.
