A teacher earns $730.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $72.00 federal income tax, $35.00 state income tax, and $65.00 Social Security tax. How much will the teacher make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?

The length of the unknown side of the rectangle can be found by using the Pythagoras theorem. Letting the unknown side to be x, the labelled rectangle becomes: The unknown length of the triangle is about 16.7 feet.

The length of the unknown side of the rectangle can be found by using the Pythagoras theorem. Letting the unknown side to be x, the labelled rectangle becomes:

The unknown length of the triangle is about 16.7 feet.

We usea calculator to find the product of

1.6*0.93=1.488

From the given estimations, we can find the exact sum after adding the given numbers and see the trend the student utilizes to find their estimates. The actual sum is as follows

26+180=206

115+391=506

497+2024=2521

From the above evaluation, the students round the exact sum to the nearest tens. So, in the problem we need to approximate 545+7501.

545+7501=8046

The exact sum is 8046 and the approximate value after rounding to the nearest tens is 8050.

We convert the given word problem into a mathematical expression.

Let the number be x.

Thrice a number = 3x

Twelve less than thrice a number = 3x-12

Thus, the required mathematical expression is 3x-12

Let's calculate the number of each color of gumball:

• Red: 20% of 120 → 0.2×120=24
• Orange: 30% of 120 → 0.3×120=36
• Yellow: 5% of 120 → 0.05×120=6
• Green: 10% of 120 → 0.1×120=12
• Blue: The remaining percentage: 100%−(20%+30%+5%+10%) = 100%−65% =35%
• So, 0.35×120=42 blue gumballs.

Now, we find how many more blue gumballs there are than yellow:

42−6=36

Looking at the give curve, we analyze each statement as:

• For statement 1: the points per game decreased five times between 1996 and 2015. So, the statement is false.
• For statement 2: the lowest points scored per game was in 1998-99 season and not in 2003-04 season. So, the statement is false.
• For statement 3: 2008-09 was the season the chargers scored the greatest number of points per game. So, this statement is false.
• For statement 4: the two season which no change in the points were 2012-13 and 2013-14. So this is true according to given curve.

We need to find the radius in order to find the area of the pizza.

Radius of pizza

The area of the pizza

But r=4.5

Thus, the area of the pizza is 20.25  in2.

NOTE:  is used as is since values of pi may vary e.g. 3.14, 3.142, 22/7. Hence we use pi symbol to generalize.

When solving percent problems, the following words and their meaning becomes handy.

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x represent the amount of tip the couple want to leave behind, then

So, the couple will leave a tip of $2.84, which is about $3.00

 we are to find the selling price of the sweater from the marked price and the discount. The marked price is given as

Discount=mark off rate*original price

Discount=15%*$78

Convert 15% into a fraction, which become 15/100=0.15. Then

Discount=0.15*$78=$11.70

The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the discount or mark off value. Then,

Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $66.

We asked to convert kg to pounds. There are two ways of converting between kg and pounds

And

Since we are to find pounds, we use the second option for kg to cancel

The pound equivalent of 45 kg is 99 lb.
