Question 454928
"In one month Summer earned $575 at her part-time job, and $88 was withheld for federal income tax. Suppose she earns $732 next month. How much will be withheld for federal income tax?"


Set up a proportion:


575/88 = 732/x
575x = 88(732) {cross-multiplied}
575x = 64,416 {multiplied through}
x = 112.03 {divided both sides by 575}
