Raafiq's monthly mortgage payment was $1500 last year, and on average, 12% of each payment was interest. if raafiq itemizes deductions on his federal income tax return, how much can he deduct for mortgage interest? a. $180 b. $1680 c. $2160 d. $125

Here the monthly payment is $1500.

Now 12% of this payment is interest.

Now 12% of 1500 = 0.12 ×1500 = $180

But this is the interest for one month.

As deductions are made in the financial year.

So the interest needs to be calculated for the whole year which is 12 months.

Now the interest for the whole year is 180 × 12 = $2160.

Option C) is the right answer.

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
