Mario has gross biweekly earnings of $784.21. by claiming 1 more withholding allowance, mario would have $13 more in his take home pay. how many withholding allowances does mario currently claim?

He currently claim 4 withholding allowances.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can get the answer using the image attached.

As the problem indicates, Mario has earning of $784.21, which is placed between 780 and 800.

Also, the problem shows that Mario would have $13 more in his take home pay, if you look the image, that amount is calculated from 20-7, from 4 and 5 amount of income tax withheld.

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
