Answer:

C. $75.37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Martha earned a gross pay of $1,215.60 last week.
  • Social Security tax is 6.2%

So, you have to find 6.2% of $1,215.60.

Note

$1,215.60 - 100%

$x - 6.2%

Write a proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{1,215.60}{x}=\dfrac{100}{6.2}\\ \\100x=1,215.60\cdot 6.2 \ [\text{Cross multiplied}]\\ \\x=\dfrac{1,215.60\cdot 6.2}{100}=\dfrac{7536.72}{100}=75.3672\approx 75.37[/tex]
