Group of answer choices

$1142.25

$1360.95

$1210.15

$139.05

$1,142.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross = $1500

Deductions = 6.2% + 1.45% + 16.2% = 23.85%

100% - 23.85% = 76.15%

100% = 1500

76.15$ = x

By cross multiplication

100x = 1500 * 76.15

x = $1,142.25

b

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
