A nurse earns $800.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $83.00 federal income tax, $38.00 state income tax, and $79.00 Social Security tax. How much will the nurse make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?
A. $2,600.00
B. $3,000.00
C. $2,400.00
D. $2,800.00
we need to find the net income of the nurse in 4 weeks from the weekly net income.
Weekly net income=gross income-total tax
Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax
Total tax=$(83.00+38.00+79.00)
Total tax=$200.00
Weekly net income=$(800.00-200.00)=$600.00
In one week, the net income of the nurse is $600.00 and in 4 weeks the nurse will a net income of:
The nurse will earn $2,400.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

Q #1: Which of the following values is the greatest?
A. 9/2
B. 4.4
C. 10/3
D. 4.25
Answer Explanation
The initial step is to convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
4.4 becomes 44/10
4.25 becomes 425/100
Thus, the set of fractions is 9/2, 44/10, 10/3, 425/100. The least common denominator for 2, 10, 3, and 100 is 300, which we use to compare each options given.
9/2*300=1350
44/10*300=1320
10/3*300=1000
425/100*300=1275
From the above, 1350 is the greatest value which corresponds to 9/2. Thus, 9/2 is the greatest value of all the choices given.

Q #2: The data below represents students’ test scores. Which of the following is the median of the set data? 11, 12, 18, 14, 22, 17, 17, 12, 26, 12, 13
A. 15
B. 12
C. 14
D. 15.8
Answer Explanation
the median of a data set is the element that is found on the middle position. It is found by organizing the elements from the smallest to largest.
The data set above arranged from the smallest to largest is:
11, 12, 12, 12, 13, 14, 17, 17, 18, 22, 26
The number of elements is odd and the median is found in the (N+1)/2 th position. Here N=11, and the median falls in (11+1)/2=12/2=6 th position.
The element 14 falls in the 6th position, which is our median of the given data set.

Q #3: How may milliliters are there in 0.5 liters?
A. 500
B. 50
C. 5
D. 5000
Answer Explanation
We use 1 L =1000 mL to convert between the two units. The conversion fractions of interconverting are:
And
Since we want to end up with millimeters, the second conversion is used in converting L to mL as:
Thus, 0.5 L is equivalent to 500 mL.
