574.54-396.23= 178.31
So Y=178.31
The statistic about college graduates which is not true is that C. they can earn nearly double the income of high school graduates.
They cannot earn that much really - even though they have a college degree, there are many jobs that don't require a degree which also pay a lot.
235.24 + 45.58 = 280.82
280.82/2 = 140.41
each check was for $140.41
Change the common denominator so 3/4 ---> 9/12
3/4 and 9/12 are equal
Hope this helps!!!
