<span>Social Security tax is a percentage that both employees and employers must contribute 6.2% of employee compensation, for a total of 12.4%.
The social security that would be applied to an annual salary of $235,430 using $106,800 as the maximum taxable income is 12.4% of $106,800 = 0.124 x $106,800 = $13,243.20
The Medicare payroll tax is 2.9%. It applies only to earned income, which is wages you are paid by an employer, plus tips. You're responsible for 1.45% of the tax, and it's deducted automatically from your paycheck. Your employer pays the other 1.45%
The Medicare tax that would be applied to an annual salary of $235,430 using $106,800 as the maximum taxable income is 2.9% of $106,800 = 0.029 x $106,800 = $3,097.20

There's only one decimal point in the answer. This is quite obvious. Regardless of whether or not your adding, subtracting, dividing, or multiplying, there's really only going to be one decimal, ever. This doesn't change, However, what DOES change are decimal PLACES.
Looking at the problem, you see both .6 and .4 are placed to the right of the decimal, otherwise known as the tenths place (1/10).
Looking at 1.9, you see you have one number (1) placed to the left of the decimal, the ones place, and another number placed to the right of the decimal (9), in the tenths place.
Well, this is simple. You can look and see that your multiplying fractions against a whole number, which will of course make this whole number even smaller. By how much though??
Well, you can really tell this by looking at how MANY numbers are behind the decimal. You have .9, .4, and .6
That's 3 numbers behind the decimal place. This may not help you solve the problem itself, but this tells you here (ignoring the 1, that will be taken out immediately while solving and turned into a 0) that you will have 3 numbers placed from the tenths place all the way to the thousandths place.
Basically, this tells you that you'll have three decimal places to the right of the decimal.
As for rewriting your problem to better show this, that's simple too.
All you have to do is simple multiplication, just in the tenths place. How? You know that 6*4 (referring to .6 and .4) is 24, that means that .6*.4 will be .24
How does this support your answer before? .24 has TWO numbers to the right of the decimal. That's TWO decimal places. With the .9 in 1.9, that's still THREE decimal places to the right of the decimal, and your answer would be the same.
So, here's it re-written.
1.9*.24=X

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(7/12) of 840 attended the concert:
(7/12)*(840) = 490 students attended the Spring Concert.
(840 - 490) = 350 did not attend
(350/840) is the fraction of students who did not attend. This can be reduced to (35/84)
(350/840) = 0.4167 or 41.67% did not attend.
