Answer:

14379.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If I remember correctly, the Medicare tax is taken on Gross Income. The question has already limited the base amount for Social Security.

<em><u>Social Security:</u></em> 118,500 * 6.2/100 =   7347

Medicare Tax:    485,000*1.45/100 =  <u>7032.50</u>    Add

Add                                                       14379.50

Sonny paid 14370 in taxes for these 2 items.

Answer:

$14,379.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

  • Sonny Siebert Income: $485,000
  • Social Security tax rate: 6.2%  up to $118,500
  • Medicare tax of 1.45%

As we know that, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) is made up of two items, Social Security and Medicare taxes.

So

Social Security tax: $118,500*6.2% = $7347

Medicare tax: $485,000*1.45% = $732.5

=> the amount of  FICA taxes as a rookie pitcher she needs to pay is:

= $7347 + $732.5

= $14,379.50

Show a way to count from 170 to 410 using tens and hundreds. circle at least 1 benchmark number
Anastasy [175]
Benchmark are numbers that are used as standards to which the rest of the data is compared to. When counting numbers using a number line, the benchmark numbers are the intervals written on the axis. For benchmark numbers of 10, the number line on top of the attached picture is shown. Starting from 170, the tick marks are added by 10, such that the next numbers are 180, 190, 200, and so on and so forth. When you want to find 410, just find the benchmark number 410.

The same applies to benchmark numbers in intervals of 100. If you want to find 170, used the benchmark numbers 100 and 200. Then, you estimate at which point represents 170. For 410, you base on the benchmark numbers 400 and 500.

Jeff earned his pilot's license and flew to visit his brother 200 miles away. A headwind of 20 mph slowed down the plane's speed
lora16 [44]
<h2>Plane's speed without wind i s 117.68 mph</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have speed of plane without wind is x.

Distance to brothers place = 200 miles.

A headwind of 20 mph slowed down the plane's speed on the first leg of the trip

Speed to brothers place = x - 20

We have

         Distance = Speed x Time

         200=(x-20)\times t_1\\\\t_1=\frac{200}{x-20}

A tailwind of 20 mph sped up the plane on the return trip

Speed of return trip = x + 20

We have

         Distance = Speed x Time

         200=(x+20)\times t_2\\\\t_2=\frac{200}{x+20}

The entire trip took 3.5 hours.

That is

            t_1+t_2=3.5\\\\\frac{200}{x-20}+\frac{200}{x+20}=3.5\\\\200x+4000+2000x-4000=3.5(x-20)(x+20)\\\\400x=3.5x^2-1400\\\\7x^2-800x-2800=0\\\\\texttt{x = 117.68mph or x =-3.40mph}

Plane's speed without wind i s 117.68 mph

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1) He should have found the average of the number of rock songs by averaging 4 and 6 to get 5.

2) He did not multiply the numerator and denominator by the correct number to equal 1,500.

5) He should have multiplied the numerator and denominator by 75, not 30,  because 20 x 75 = 1,500.
