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

Answer Explanation:

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 #2: Three friends are sharing a burger. One friend eats a quarter of the burger. The other two friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the burger did each of the other two friends receive?  

    A. 1/6

    B. 1/4

    C. 3/4

    D. 3/8

    Answer Explanation

    : we are needed to find the portion of burger the two other friends share between themselves. A whole burger is 1, and we know that,

    One friend=1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

    Remaining amount=1-1/4=4/4-1/4=3/4

    Thus, ¾ of burger is left for two friends to share among themselves. Then, each friend will get

    So, the other two friends will each get 3/8 of the burger.

  • Q #3: A class of 48 students has 22 boys and 26 girls. What is ratio of girls to boys in the class?

    A. 26:11

    B. 13:11

    C. 13:22

    D. 11:13

    Answer Explanation

    : a ratio can be thought of a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. In ratio form, to means per.

    Now, the class has 26 girls and 22 boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:

                                              

    The fraction above reduces into

                                         

     

    In ratio form, girls: boys=13:11

    Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 48 students is 13 to 11.
