(As the percentage is always be 100% .)

The percentage of gross pay is take home  = 100% - 23%

                                                                        = 77%

jay working hourly wage = 13.51 (Approx)

Therefore jay working hourly wage is $13.51

Option (B) is correct.

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -3x

x( x^2 -2x-3)

x( x^2 +x -3x -3)

x( x(x+1) -3(x+1))

x( x-3)( x+1)

so zeroes are 0, 3,-1

its (2) option
