Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount deducted for Medicare = $725
Amount deducted for state income tax = $3000
Amount deducted for Social security = $3100
To find: Total amount deducted from Alton's pay for FICA last year
Solution:
Total amount deducted from Alton's pay for FICA last year = Amount deducted for Medicare + Amount deducted for state income tax + Amount deducted for Social security = 
On adding 725 and 3000, we get 
On adding 3725 and 3100, we get 
So, amount deducted =
Answer:
0.05x+0.25y=8.75; the y intercept represents that if she found 0 nickels she must have found 35 quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Solve for y:
0.25y= 8.75-0.05x (subtract 0.05x on both sides)
y= (8.75-0.05x)/0.25 (divide by 0.25 on both sides)
2. Since the y intercept can be found when x equals 0, plug in 0 for x into the equation.
y=(8.75-0.05(0))/0.25
y= 8.75/0.25
y=35
In order to make this easier, let us convert the fraction into a mixed number. 2 2/3 would become 8/3. Now, let us divide 8 pints by 8/3 cups and we get 24/8 or 3 cups. Therefore, the amount of water that Cary has to use when she makes barbecue sauce with 1 pint of tomato is 3 cups.
