What is a formula for the nth term of the given sequence? − 12 , − 16 , − 20... −12,−16,−20...

Therefore the Chuck’s gross pay be reduced by  $129.07 and Chuck’s gross pay after reduced the tax is $686.63 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Chuck has a gross pay of $815.70.

Federal tax =  $56

Social Security tax that is 6.2% of his gross pay .

6.2% is written in the decimal form.

= 0.062

Social Security tax = 0.062 × 815.70

                               = $ 50.6 (Approx)

Medicare tax that is 1.45% of his gross pay state tax .

= 0.0145

1.45% is written in the decimal form.

= 0.0145

Medicare tax = 0.0145 × 815.70

                     = $11.83 (Approx)

State tax that is 19% of his federal tax.

19% is written in the decimal form.

= 0.19

State tax = 0.19 ×  $56

              = $10.64

Chuck’s gross pay be reduced =  Federal tax +  Social Security tax + Medicare tax + State tax

Chuck’s gross pay be reduced =  $56 + $ 50.6 +  $11.83 + $10.64

                                                   = $129.07

Therefore the Chuck’s gross pay be reduced by  $129.07 .

Chuck’s gross pay after reduced the tax =  $815.70 -  $129.07

                                                                    = $686.63

Therefore the Chuck’s gross pay after reduced the tax is $686.63 .
