Ou work at the peacock blue store 40 hours/week over five days at a rate of $10.25/hour. deductions are fica (7.65%), federal withholding (15%), and state withholding (10%). your expenses are transportation at $5.25/day, lunch at $3.85/day, and black slacks required for work at $19.95. how much is your discretionary income for one week?

$210.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, just calculate how much money you earn:

40 * 10.25 = $410

Your transportation expenses = 5.25 * 5 = $26.25

Your lunch expenses = 3.85 * 5 = $19.25

Expenses for black slacks = $19.95

FICA = 7.65/100 * 410 (money you earned) = $31.365

Federal withholding = 15/100 * 410 = $61.5

State withholding = 10/100 * 410 = $41

Your discretionary income = 410 - (26.25 + 19.25 + 19.95 + 31.365 + 61.5 + 41) = $210.69

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
