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: A couple dining at a restaurant receives a bill for $58.60. They wish to leave a 16% gratuity. Which of the following is the estimated gratuity?
A. $8.48
B. $6.40
C. $9.38
D. $7.00
Answer Explanation
In this problem, we need to find the amount of gratuity the couple will leave. The gratuity is 16% of the total bill. Before solving the problem, the following are terms and their meaning in percent problems:
- Is means equals
- Of means multiply
- What means unknown (variable)
If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:
So, the value of x=9.376 and to the nearest cent, x=9.38
There, a couple will leave a gratuity of $9.38.

Q #2: An athlete runs 5 miles in 25 minutes and then changes their pace to run the next 3 miles in 15 minutes. Overall, what is the average time in minutes it takes the athlete to run 1 mile?
A. 7 minutes
B. 5 minutes
C. 6.5 minutes
D. 8.5 minutes
Answer Explanation
to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile, find total time divided by total distance covered in the two runs.
Total distance=5+3=8 miles
Total time=25+15=40 minutes
We now know that the athlete runs 8 miles in 40 minutes, so the time the athlete will run in 1 mile will be:
In 5 minutes, the athlete runs 1 mile.

Q #3: A student performs the following estimations. 35+192 230 258+350 610 947+1032 1980 Based on these estimations, which of the following is the student’s estimate of 694+7618?
A. 8320
B. 8500
C. 8300
D. 8310
Answer Explanation
Here we need to find the actual values of the additions and see the trend the student will use to estimate the given problem. The exact sum is as follows
35+192=227
258+350=608
947+1032=1979
From the above calculations, it is evident that the student rounds up or down the ones place values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 694+7618.
694+7618=8312
We can approximate 8312 based on the provided choices is 8310.
