A teacher earns $730.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $72.00 federal income tax, $35.00 state income tax, and $65.00 Social Security tax. How much will the teacher make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?
A. $2,250.00
B. $2,550.00
C. $2,400.00
D. $2,232.00
The net income is the salary of the teacher gets after deducting total taxes.
Weekly net income=weekly gross income-total tax
Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax
Total tax=$(72.00+35.00+65.00)
Total tax=$172.00
Weekly net income=$(730.00-172.00)=$558.00
The net income the teacher gets in 4 weeks is what she gets in one week multiplied by 4
The teacher will earn a net income of $2,232.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

Q #1: 3(2x+5)=11x+5 Solve the equation above for x. Which of the following is correct?
A. 1
B. 2
C. -1
D. -2
Answer Explanation
We follow the order operations to solve for the unknown value of x.
3(2x+5)=11x+5
Open the bracket on the LHS by multiplying each term by 3
(3*2x)+(3*5)=11x+5
6x+15=11x+5
Subtract 15 from both sides
6x+15-15=11x+5-15
6x=11x-10
Subtract 11x on both sides
6x-11x=11x-11x-10
-5x=-10
Divide both sides by -5
-5x/-5=-10/-5
x= 2
Thus, the value of unknown value of x is 2.

Q #2: A teacher has asked all the students in the class which data visualizer he will use to show relationship between their scores and number of subjects. Which of the following is the best way to display the frequency of each day of the week?
A. Histogram
B. Scatterplot
C. Pie graph
D. Bar graph
Answer Explanation
Histograms are used to present frequency of data of one variable over the other. On the other hand, a bar graph is used to compare the two variables with the rectangles not touching one another as in histograms. Scatter plots are used to show the correlations between two variables. In this case, the teacher will be able to use scatter plot to establish the correlation between test scores and the subjects.

Q #4: A student performs the following estimations. 26+180210 115+391510 497+20242520 Based on these estimations, which of the following is the student’s estimate of 545+7501?
A. 8030
B. 8060
C. 8160
D. 8050
Answer Explanation
From the given estimations, we can find the exact sum after adding the given numbers and see the trend the student utilizes to find their estimates. The actual sum is as follows
26+180=206
115+391=506
497+2024=2521
From the above evaluation, the students round the exact sum to the nearest tens. So, in the problem we need to approximate 545+7501.
545+7501=8046
The exact sum is 8046 and the approximate value after rounding to the nearest tens is 8050.

Q #7: A sweater that normally sells for $78 is marked 15% off. Which of the following estimates the sale price of the sweater?
A. $12
B. $66
C. $22
D. $69
Answer Explanation
we are to find the selling price of the sweater from the marked price and the discount. The marked price is given as
Discount=mark off rate*original price
Discount=15%*$78
Convert 15% into a fraction, which become 15/100=0.15. Then
Discount=0.15*$78=$11.70
The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the discount or mark off value. Then,
Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $66.
