Answer:

64,000

Explanation:

If 180 out of 320 people were in favor of a gas tax, then 140 people (320 - 180) must have voted against the gas tax (assuming all voted and are valid)

The ratio of those that voted in favor of the tax to those who voted against is 180 to 140 expressed as 9:7 in the simplest form.

Now, if 36,000 people voted in favor of the tax, let the total number of people who voted on the issue be T

9/(9 + 7) × T = 36000

(9/16)T = 36000

9T = 36000 × 16

T = 36000 × 16/9

T = 64,000

This means 64,000 people would have participated in the vote.

If the survey found that in every 320 people, 180 of them voted in favor of gas tax .Then to get the total number of people who voted in favor of gas tax were 36,000. We can get the number of 180 people groups among those who voted in favor. = 36,000/180 = 200 groups
A group of 180 people who voted in favor is equivalent to a group of 360 people who voted. 
Therefore, 200 × 360 people =72,000 people took part in the voting exercise.

Ray Jene earns $900 a week at a Publix supermarket. Ray's payroll deductions are 28%. What is Ray's take-home pay?
kaheart [24]
If Ray earns $900 a week and deductions are 28% Ray's take home pay is:
$648 a week

If we assume that the deductions of 28% are taken out of the $900 weekly we will multiply 900 by 0.28 = 252. Then subtract 252 which is the deduction amount from the 900 and we end up with take home pay of $648.

tangare [24]

Answer:

Gain/loss= $7,500 loss

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $24,000.

Lassen bought the machine for $52,000 and has claimed $20,500 of depreciation expense on the machine

First, we need to calculate the book value:

Book value= original price - accumulated depreciation

Book value= 52,000 - 20,500= $31,500

If the selling price is higher than the book value, the company gain from the sale.

Gain/loss= 24,000 - 31,500= $7,500 loss
