For the first 6% of Carlene's salary, her employer matches 100% of her 401(k) contributions, and from 6% to 12%, Carlene's employer matches 50% of her 401(k) contributions. Carlene's salary is $40,000, and last year, she contributed $4000 to her 401(k) plan. What was her employer's contribution to the 401(k)?

step-by-step explanation:

look at the picture.

1.

ef : ab = 2 : 3

gf : cb = 2 : 3

gh : cd = 2 : 3

he : da = 2 : 3

2.

∠a ≅ ∠e

∠b ≅ ∠f

∠c ≅ ∠g

∠d ≅ ∠h

3.

use pythagorean theorem:

the length of the abcd trapezoid sides:

|ab| = 3 cm

|bc| = 10 cm

|cd| = 3(3) cm = 9 cm

|da| = 8 cm

the perimeter of abcd = 3 + 10 + 9 + 8 = 30 cm

the ratio of perimeters of the tarapezoids is equal 2 : 3.

substitute:

      cross multiply

      divide both sides by 3
