A teacher earns $730.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $72.00 federal income tax, $35.00 state income tax, and $65.00 Social Security tax. How much will the teacher make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?

The net income is the salary of the teacher gets after deducting total taxes.

Weekly net income=weekly gross income-total tax

Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax

Total tax=$(72.00+35.00+65.00)

Total tax=$172.00

Weekly net income=$(730.00-172.00)=$558.00

The net income the teacher gets in 4 weeks is what she gets in one week multiplied by 4

The teacher will earn a net income of $2,232.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.

The distribution of the weights of the newborn babies is symmetric meaning the mean, mode, and median are all equal. Thus, the bell-shape curve describes this kind of distribution of weights

When solving percent problems, the following words and their meaning becomes handy.

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x represent the amount of tip the couple want to leave behind, then

So, the couple will leave a tip of $2.84, which is about $3.00

Looking at the give curve, we analyze each statement as:

• For statement 1: the points per game decreased five times between 1996 and 2015. So, the statement is false.
• For statement 2: the lowest points scored per game was in 1998-99 season and not in 2003-04 season. So, the statement is false.
• For statement 3: 2008-09 was the season the chargers scored the greatest number of points per game. So, this statement is false.
• For statement 4: the two season which no change in the points were 2012-13 and 2013-14. So this is true according to given curve.

: In order to solve for the value of x, we use the order of operations as follows:

The first step is to divide both sides by 3

Add 2 to both sides to eliminate it from the left-hand side of the equation

x-2+2=4+2

x = 6

Thus, the value of x is 6.

To solve the equation this equation, we use a calculator and find the product as:

3.45 * 0.53= 1.8285

Correlation of two variables falls into:

Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase

Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease

No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.

From the given choices

Option a is no correlation

Option b is a negative correlation

Option c is a negative correlation

Option d is a positive correlation

Thus, the correct statement is a.

we are asked to find the largest value from the options given. To solve this problem, we need to convert all the given values into fraction. Then find the least common denominator for all fractions, which we will use to multiply each fraction and make a comparison.

43÷55=43/55

5/7

0.729=729/1000

73%=73/100

Now, we need to find the least common denominator of 55, 7, 1000, and 100, which is 77000. We multiply each fraction by 77000 as follows:

43/55*77000=60200

5/7*77000=55000

729/1000*77000=56133

73/100*77000=56210

From the calculated values, it can be noted that 43/55 is the greatest value among the given options.

In this problem, we need to find the amount of gratuity the couple will leave. The gratuity is 16% of the total bill. Before solving the problem, the following are terms and their meaning in percent problems:

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:

So, the value of x=9.376 and to the nearest cent, x=9.38

There, a couple will leave a gratuity of $9.38.

to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile, find total time divided by total distance covered in the two runs.

Total distance=5+3=8 miles

Total time=25+15=40 minutes

We now know that the athlete runs 8 miles in 40 minutes, so the time the athlete will run in 1 mile will be:  

In 5 minutes, the athlete runs 1 mile.
