After the car payment is deducted, Michael take home pay will be $3060 per month. If his monthly car payment is 15% of his earnings, what is Michael current monthly earnings ?

Earnings current month of Michale = 3600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that after the car payment is deducted, Michael take home pay will be $3060 per month. His monthly car payment is 15% of his earnings,

Let his earnings be 100

His car payment       15

His take home pay = 85

If 85 is take home pay earnings = 100

Hence if 3060 is take home pay earning = ?

This is a question of direct variation since if take home pay increases total earnings also increase.

So earnings =

Earnings current month of Michale = 3600

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
