To date, ty has cumulative earnings of $107,600. this week he is paid $3,000. what's the total amount of social security tax for this week? assume a rate of 6.2% on $110,100 for social security and 1.45% for medicare. a. $186.00 b. $155.00 c. $180.00 d. $57.66

Option A. $186.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Ty is paid this week = $3,000

social security tax ( 6.2%) and medicare tax (1.45%) is called FICA tax, but we have to calculate only social security tax for the weekly pay.

Therefore,

6.2% of 3,000 = ×  3000

= 0.062 × 3000 = 186.00

The total amount of social security tax for this week is $186.00

Option A. $186.00

a) justify

step-by-step explanation:

justifying is just part of everyday life. justify kind of means proof so i think the answer is a) justify.

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
