Determine 2 coordinates
I used (-8,4) and (0,-2)
To determine the slope, use delta y divided by delta x.
m = (4 - (-2))/(-8 - 0)
m = 6/-8
m = -3/4
Therefore the slope is -3/4.
The calculate the area of a square multiply the base times the height.
No, it isn't!
first, the discount is 20 percent of 18 dollars, that is 18/5=3.6
this means that during the first week the prize is 18-3.6=14.4
now, the prize is marked up 20 % of 14.4! this is 2.88
so the prize later will be 14.4+2.88, that is 17.28, not 18
what is relevant here is what a number is a percent OF
Answer:
C) $17.36
Step-by-step explanation:
As Jay Stone earns $280 a week as gross weekly pay which is the amount he earns before taxes are deducted and you know that the rate is 6.2%, you can calculate the amount that is deducted from his pay this week for Social Security taxes by finding the 6.2 percent of his gross weekly pay:
$280*6.2%= $17.36
According to this, the amount that is deducted from his pay this week for Social Security taxes is $17.36.
