Charlene Langhorst's gross weekly salary is $680. Her federal withholding is $101.62. Her employer takes out the standard rates for FICA (Social Security/Medicare). The state tax is 1.5% of gross pay. Each week she pays $32.40 for medical insurance. What are Charlene's total weekly deductions? *

Total deductions =  $196.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross weekly salary = $680

federal holding = $101.62

FICA standard rate = 7.65% of gross earnings

= 7.65% of $680 = 0.0765 × 680 = $52.02

∴ FICA deductions = $52.02

state tax = 1.5% of gross pay = 1.5% of $680

state tax = 0.015 × 680 = $10.2

∴ state tax = $10.2

Medical insurance = $32.40

Total Deductions = 101.62 + 52.02 + 10.2 + 32.40 = $196.24

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make
