Question 1025394
Julian knows how to calculate the answer.
{{{"100%"-"23%"="77%"=77/100=0.77}}}
He correctly interpreted the word problem and wrote the algebra formula/equation.
Given the formula, and the hours worked during the pay period,
anyone who knows how to read algebra (and English),
and how to do the indicated calculations
can find Julian's after tax earnings.
Julian (and the problem) leave that menial task to lesser minds, ours. How insulting!
For {{{h=40}}} (40 hours worked),
{{{0.77(13.50h)=0.77*13.5*40=415.8}}}
If he works {{{40}}} hours, Julian's earnings after taxes will be {{{highlight("$ 415.80")}}}.
