A nurse earns $800.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $83.00 federal income tax, $38.00 state income tax, and $79.00 Social Security tax. How much will the nurse make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?
A. $2,600.00
B. $3,000.00
C. $2,400.00
D. $2,800.00
we need to find the net income of the nurse in 4 weeks from the weekly net income.
Weekly net income=gross income-total tax
Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax
Total tax=$(83.00+38.00+79.00)
Total tax=$200.00
Weekly net income=$(800.00-200.00)=$600.00
In one week, the net income of the nurse is $600.00 and in 4 weeks the nurse will a net income of:
The nurse will earn $2,400.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

Q #4: The graph below represents the amount of rainfall in a particular state by month. Which of the following is the total rainfall for the first 3 months of the year?
A. 4 inches
B. 5 inches
C. 4.5 inches
D. 3.5 inches

Q #7: Four friends are sharing a pizza. One friend eats half of the pizza. The other three friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the pizza did each of the other three friends receive?
A. 1/6
B. 1/3
C. ¼
D. 1/5
Answer Explanation
we are needed to find the portion of pizza shared by 3 three friends. We treat the whole pizza as 1. Now, 1 friend eats half of the whole pizza. Thus,
One friend=1/2 of 1=1/2*1=1/2
Remaining amount=1-1/2=2/2-1/2=1/2
Thus, ½ of pizza is left for three friends to share among themselves. Then, each friend will get
So, the other three friends will each get 1/6 of the pizza.

Q #8: 2(4x+3)=7x+5 Solve the equation above for x. Which of the following is correct?
A. 1
B. 2
C. -1
D. 11
Answer Explanation
we follow the order operations to solve for the unknown value of x.
2(4x+3)=7x+5
Open the bracket on the LHS by multiplying each term by 2
(2*4x)+(2*3)=7x+5
8x+6=7x+5
Subtract 6 from both sides
8x+6-6=7x+5-6
8x=7x-1
Subtract 7x on both sides
8x-7x=7x-7x-1
X=-1
Thus, the value of unknown value of x is -1.

Q #10: If a box of 35 syringes costs $560.00, which of the following is the cost of two syringes?
A. $15.00
B. $16.00
C. $32.00
D. $8.00
Answer Explanation
the question requires we find the cost of two syringes.
If we let x be the cost of two syringes, then we set up a proportion equation with cost as numerator and number of syringes as denominator. The proportion equation becomes
Cross-multiply to solve for x
Rearranging the above
Divide both sides by 35
The cost of 2 syringes is $32.
