The Social Security (FICA) wage base ,y, (in thousands of dollars) from 1983 to 1988 is given by the equation y=1.9x+34.1, where x is the number of years since 1983. What was the FICA wage base in 1995? (A) $48,200 (B) $53,100 (C) $56,900 (D) $58,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of the Social Security (FICA) wage base y, (in thousands of dollars) from 1983 to 1988 expressed as y=1.9x+34.1

for us to calculate his wage base in 1995, we need to calculate the total number of years between 1983 to 1995 i.e 12 years

Substitute x = 12 into the expression above as shown;

y=1.9x+34.1

y = 1.9(12)+ 34.1

y = 22.8 + 34.1

y = 56.9

Since y is in thousand of dollars then

y = 56.9 * 1000

y = 56900

y = $56,900

Hence FICA wage base in 1995 is $56,900

$2416.6

step-by-step explanation:

per hour = $ 25

total work time = 35

commission = 15%

total she has to make = $ 4,500

let she sold x dollar products

so her commission will be 15 % of x

now

total = weekly basic pay + commission

4500= (25*35) + 15 % of x

4500=875 + * x

4500-875 =   * x

3625= * x

multiplying wwith 100 on both sides gives

36250 = 15 x

now

x =  

x= $2416.6
