8 0

Answer:

There is 80 people still at the party

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many people are still at the party we first have to find how much 1/3 of 120 is.

∴120/3=40

then we subtract 1/3 of 120 from 120 to get the answer

∴120-40=80

James earns $418 per week and has one exemption. His office’s payroll software is broken and can only compute the withholding fo

user100 [1]

James should earn a weekly salary of $ 432.76 with 0 exemptions to give the closest exemption.

<h3>How to estimate the salary without exemption</h3>

In this question, we should estimate the salary earned before one exemption and find the equivalent brute salary with no exemptions. The expected salary is equal to product the brute salary minus the product of the tax rate and brute salary.

According to the table we have the expected salary after one exemption:

$x = 418\cdot \left(1-\frac{19.66}{100} \right)$

$x = 335.82$

After a quick inspection to the salary column for zero exemptions, we find that percentage associated to a salary with no exemptions: ( $r = 22.40\,\%$ )
