An employee earned $56,700.00 in a year and had $8,788.50 withheld for federal income tax. what federal income tax percent was withheld? if necessary, round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent. (hind: write out a verbal sentence of what you are trying to find, then turn into a mathematical equestion to solve)
show your setup as well as answer.

So earned 56,700 in a year and had 8,788.5 held back
convert to percent

so find what percent was withhelald which is (amount held back)/(total taken from)
so it would be 8,788.5/56,700=0.155/1
percent means parts out of 100 or x/100=x% so convert the bottom number ot 100 by mulitplyint the whole fraction by 1 or 100/100 so
0.155/1 times 100/100=15.5/100=15.5%
the answer is 15.5%

What’s the equation you are trying to solve to get x?

0=6x+2y+10 is equivalent to the simplified form: y= -3x - 5• parallel lines always have the same slope, different y intercept knowing this, we can say the slope, or m of the line parallel to y= -3x - 5 is -3.m= -3 hope this could !
