If you earned up to $113,700 in 2013 from an employer, your social security tax rate was 6.2% of your income. if
you earned over $113,700, you paid a fixed amount of $7,049.40.
b. how much social security tax would someone who made $50,000 owe?

$3100

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

If you earned upto $113,700 in 2013 from an employer then your security tax=6.2% of income

If you earned over $113,700 then, you paid amount of tax=$7049.40

We have to find the social security tax when you would made $50000.

Let x be the income and f(x) be the amount of tax.

Substitute the values then we get

$3100

When the income of someone is $50000 then you  paid  the security tax $3100.

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
