Jill janzen’s gross weekly pay is $298. her earnings to date for the year total $14,900. what amount is deducted from her pay each week for social security, which is taxed at 6.2%?

298 x 0.062 = the amount that is deducted
298 x 0.062 = 18.476

The total amount of money she has earned this year is given to you just to confuse you. All you really need is the percent converted to a decimal, which is 0.062, and her weekly pay, which is $298. You multiply these two together to get 18.476, which when rounded becomes $18.48.

So, every week, $18.48 is deducted from her weekly pay.

I believe we pay 6.2% social security tax and another 1.45% for medicare. 
So you would pay approximately 18.48 for social security tax and another 4.32 for medicare each week.  Provided the 298. is your gross income. 

Answer: choice c and choice d

=====================================

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

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

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer
