Missing portion in question:

Tax rate for Social Security and Medicare for the company The Open-Pit Furnace Co. is not given in the question. Usually these taxes apply on following rate:

Social Security Tax Rate = 6.2%

Medicare Tax Rate = 1.45%

Answer:

$6,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Total deducted amount from her salary was $497.25 i.e. some of the taxes for social security and medicare. If these taxes are on the rate mentioned above, total salary can be calculated.

Total deduction = (6.2%+1.45%) of the salary

497.25=7.65% of the salary

Let the total salary = $x

497.25=\frac{7.65}{100}*x\\=\frac{497.25*100}{7.65} \\=\frac{49725}{7.65} \\=6500

So, her monthly salary is $6500

Which value of x would make Triangle S U V Is-congruent-to Triangle T U M by HL?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually, the complete question includes the expression of each hypothenuse, because the problem is about congruence between right triangle.

So, the hypothenuse for \triangle SUV is: 2x+9.

The hypothenuse for \triangle TUW is:   4x-1.

So, the postulate HL (Hypothenuse-Leg) states that both right triangles are equal if their hypothenuses and legs are equal. So, we have to make equal both hypothenuse expression and solve for x:

2x+9=4x-1\\9+1=4x-2x\\10=2x\\x=\frac{10}{2}=5

Therefore, when x=5 these triangles are congruent.

Using a sheet of graph paper, solve the following system of equations graphically. Be sure to show any work, use a straight edge
BigorU [14]

we have the following system of equations

x + y = 0\\x - y + 2 = 0

we know that

The intersection of both graphs is the solution of the system of equations

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

the solution is the point (-1,1)

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the solution of the system of equations is the point (-1,1)

An automobile manufacturer sold 30,000 new cars, one to each of 30,000 customers, in a certain year. The manufacturer was intere
snow_lady [41]
A) In order to create a sampling plan, you need to follow the following 5 steps:
    1) Define the sample population: who are the customers you want to contact?
       The costumers who bought a new car on a certain year.
    2) Define the size of population: how many customers are you going to contact?
       Of the 30000 customers who bought a car, you want to contact 1000 customers.
    3) Define the contact options: how are you going to contact the customers?
       You have a list of names and addresses, therefore you can send a questionnaire via mail.
    4) Form a sampling frame: what is the time or contact frame to get in touch with your customers? 
       You will send the questionnaires and you will wait two months for the answer.
    5) Define the analysis method: is yours a qualitative or quantitative research?
     In your case, you want a quantitative research and therefore a probabilistic sampling.

B) The 32.5% probability refers to customers having issues with the power doors locks among the costumers who had problems, it does not consider the customers who did not have any problem or those who had problems after the first 5000 miles.

C) In order to find the probability of a power door lock problem if there have been problems within the first 5000 miles, we need to consider the whole sample:
P = 13 / 1000
   = 0.013

Therefore, 
N = <span>0.013 </span>× 30000
   = 390

Hence, the number of new cars sold that experienced a problem with the power door locks within the first 5000 miles will be 390.

The volume of  world’s oceans= cubic kilometers of water.

⇒ The volume of  world’s oceans= cubic centimeters of water.

Volume of a bucket = 20,000 cubic centimeters of water.

The number of bucket-loads would it take to bucket out the world’s oceans

Step-by-step explanation:

hence,7/10 19   bucketloads would it take to bucket out the world’s oceans.
