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 #1: A student performs the following estimations. 24+190≈210 151+319≈470 974+1022≈1990 Based on these estimations, which of the following is the student’s estimate of 452+5017?
A. 5470
B. 5500
C. 5400
D. 5450
Answer Explanation
from the given estimations, we can find the actual addition of the numbers and see a trend the student utilizes to find their estimates. The exact sum is as follows
24+190=214
151+319=470
974+1022=1996
From the above evaluation, we can clearly see the students approximates the value in the ones values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 452+5017.
452+5017=5469
We can approximate 5469 based on the provided choices to 5470.

Q #2: Lana has $60. She spends 80% of the money. She then invests the remaining amount and earns a profit of 80%. How much money does she now have?
A. $21.60
B. $86.40
C. $9.60
D. $60
Answer Explanation
we are needed to find the amount Lana is left with after spending and investing the rest using the given information.
Amount Lana spends = 80% of $60= 80/100 * 60 = $48
Amount left to invest = $(60-48) = $12
Lana is left with $12, which she invests and earns a profit of 80%.
Profit earned = 80% of $12 = 80/100 * 12 = $9.20
So, Lana will have $12 + $9.20 = $21.60

Q #3: A large pizza has a diameter of 16 inches. Which of the following is the area of the pizza in terms of pi (π)?
A. 16 πin2
B. 64 πin2
C. 32πin2
D. 256 πin2
Answer Explanation
We are told to find the area of the pizza given its diameter. The pizza is in circular form, and its area is found as:
However, we are not given r, which is the radius of the circle. But we can find it from the given diameter as
Substituting r=8 in the equation of the area of a circle
Thus, the area of the pizza is 64
in2.NOTE:
(Pi) remains as a symbol because values of Pi can vary from 22/7 to 3.1415 to 3.14 and so forth.
