A doctor earns $980.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $85.00 federal income tax, $40.00 state income tax, and $81.00 Social Security tax. How much will the doctor make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?
A. $3,096.00
B. $3,00.00
C. $3,00.00
D. $3,200.00
We are required to find the doctor’s earning in 4 weeks after taking off taxes.
The first step is to find the total weekly deductions as follows:
Total weekly tax=federal income tax + state income tax + Social Security tax
Total weekly tax=$(85.00+40.00+81.00)
Total tax=$206.00
The next step is to find the weekly income after deducting total taxes
Weekly net income=gross income-total tax
Weekly net income=$(980.00-206.00)=$774.00
In one week, the net income of the doctor is $774.00 and after 4 weeks, the net income will be 4 times his weekly earning
Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

Q #1: Which of the following is the greatest value?
A. 74÷95
B. 7/8
C. 0.72
D. 74%
Answer Explanation
To solve this problem, we need to have all options in fraction form.
74
95 = 
7/8 = 3/8
0.72 = 72/100
74% = 74/100
Now, find the least common denominator of 95, 8, and 100. The least common denominator is 3800, which we multiply by each fraction as follows:
74/95*3800=2960
7/8*3800=3325
72/100*3800=2736
74/100*3800=2812
We can see that the fraction 7/8 is the greatest among the given options.

Q #2: A recipe calls for 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?
A. 6.33 mL
B. 12.325 mL
C. 7.395 mL
D. 0.797 mL
Answer Explanation
We are asked to find mL equivalent in 1.5 teaspoons. To carry out the operations, we utilize dimensional analysis to solve this problem as follows.
Converting between teaspoon and mL uses the following conversions:
Or
Since we want to remain with mL, use the second option and proceed as follows.
Thus, 1.5 teaspoons is equal to 7.395 mL
