Social Security tax = $655.84 x 0.062 = ???
Medicare tax = $655.84 x 0.0145 = ??

Please solve both as long multiplication
so I can understand how to solve these types of questions myself

Step-by-step explanation:

1.      655.84

       x    0.0062

          131168

+     393504

   000000

0000000      

0004066208

there are 5 numbers after the decimal point,we count from the back and place our point = 40.66208

2.      655.84

       x    0.0145

          327920

+     262336

       65584

    00000

000000      

000950968

there are 5 numbers after the decimal point,we count from the back and place our point = 9.50968

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

yes
