If you make $450 a month but 15% is held out of each paycheck for social security and taxes how much do bring home?

To solve this question make an equation

450 x 0.15 = X

0.15 = the percentage taken out of the paycheck

67.5 = Social Security Taxes

450 - 67.5

= $382.5

Or the easier way if you want it straight away

450 x 0.85 = $382.5

0.85 = percentage taken home

step-by-step explanation:

f

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
