The government takes out 6.2% for Social Security, 1.45% for Medicare, and 15% for federal income tax. Alex does not live in a state with state income tax. What is her after-tax monthly income?

92.35% or 77.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the total salary represents 100%.

After taxes in a city where all taxes apply would be:

100% - 6.2% - 1.45% - 15% = 77.35%

Which means, that in this case, the salary after tax would be 77.35%.

In Alex's case, there is no state income tax, if this tax is the same as the federal income tax, his income would be:

100% - 6.2% - 1.45% = 92.35%

That is, 92.35% of their original salary.

If these two taxes are different, your income would be 77.35%.

60%

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
