Employees in 2012 paid 4.2% of their gross wages towards social security (FICA tax), while employers paid another 6.2%. How much will someone earning $28,000 a year pay towards social security out of their wages

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

$1,176

Step-by-step explanation:

Employees in 2012 paid 4.2% of their gross wages towards social security tax.

If someone has yearly wages = $28,000

He paid towards social security = 4.2% of 28,000

                                                     = (4.2)/(100)* 28,000

                                                     = 0.042 × 28,000

                                                     = $1,176.00

He would pay $1,176 towards social security tax out of their wages.

Answer 2
Answer:

If you have worded the question verbatim from the problem, then you only need to worry about the 4.2% paid by the employee out of his/her gross.

(If you altered the wording a bit, then the 6.2% from the employer may factor in somehow. But the way the problem is worded above, it does not.)

If I make $28,000 and paid 4.2% out of my wages myself, then that would be

28,000 x .042 = $1176 toward SS that I paid myself from my gross wages.

Alonzo rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $15.99 , and there was an additional charge of 89 cents for each mile driven. Alonzo had to pay $184.20 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answers

Alonzo drove the truck at the distance of 189 miles.

Let's assume the number of miles Alonzo drove is represented by "m." Therefore, the total cost of renting the truck can be expressed as:

Total cost = Base fee + (Additional charge per mile * Number of miles driven)

$184.20 = $15.99 + ($0.89 * m)

Now, we need to solve for "m," the number of miles Alonzo drove. We'll start by subtracting the base fee from both sides of the equation:

$184.20 - $15.99 = $0.89 * m

$168.21 = $0.89 * m

To find the value of "m," we'll divide both sides by $0.89:

m = $168.21 / $0.89

m = 189 miles

So, Alonzo drove the truck for 189 miles.

#SPJ2

it cost him 15.99 just to rent it, so subtract that 184.20-15.99= 168.21
then divide that by .89 for each mile 168.21/ .89= 189

Alonzo drove 189 miles

What is the result of the following division?

Answers

For this case we must indicate the result of the following expression:

\frac {2x ^ 3-3x + 5} {x + 3}

We must build a quotient that, when multiplied by the divisor, eliminates the terms of the dividend until it reaches the remainder.

It must be fulfilled that:

Dividend = Quotient * Divider + Remainder

Find the area of the rhombus. d1 = 14 m; d2 = 18 m The area of the rhombus is ? m2.

Answers

Answer:

Area of rhombus = 126 m²

Explanation:

We are given that the two diagonals of the rhombus are:

D₁ = 14 meters and D₂ = 18 meters

The area of the rhombus using its diagonals can be calculated using the following rule:

Area = (D_1 * D_2)/(2)

Substitute with the given values to get the area as follows:

Area = (14*18)/(2)=126 m^2

Find the inverse of the following. select all that apply ​

Answers

Answer:

h^(- 1) (x) = \sqrt{(x - 8)^(3)} = (√(x - 8))^(3) = (x - 8)^{(3)/(2) }

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is h(x) = \sqrt[3]{x^(2)} + 8 and we have to find the inverse function of this function h(x).

Now, let us assume,y = \sqrt[3]{x^(2)} + 8

y - 8 = \sqrt[3]{x^(2)}

(y - 8)^(3) = x^(2) {Cubing both sides}

⇒ x² = (y - 8)³

x = \sqrt{(y - 8)^(3) }

Therefore, the inverse function h^(- 1) (x) = \sqrt{(x - 8)^(3)} = (√(x - 8))^(3) = (x - 8)^{(3)/(2) }

So, options A, B, and D are correct. (Answer)

40% of what number is 5

Answers

40% can be expressed as 40/100 or 0.4

(40)/(100) * x = 5\n\n0.4 * x = 5

Divide both sides by 0.4 to isolate 'x'

0.4x = 5\n\n(0.4x)/(0.4) = (5)/(0.4)\n\nx = (5)/(0.4) \n\n\boxed{\bf{x = 12.5}}

40% of 12.5 is 5.
It would be 12 and 1/2 because 40% is 2 and 1/2 of 100 and then you do 5 times 2 and 1/2 and you get 12 and 1/2.
