Answer :

Answer:

  1. $1003.50
  2. $852.80
  3. 0
  4. $1856

Step-by-step explanation:

You want an estimate of Ashley's full Social Security benefit at age 67 if she has average adjusted earnings of $3780 per month.

A. First $1115

Multiply the first $1,115 by 90%:

  $1,115 × 0.90 = $1003.50 . . . . blank 1

B. Up to 6721

Multiply the amount over $1,115 and less than or equal to $6,721 by 32%:

  ($3780 -1115) × 0.32 = $852.80 . . . . blank 2

C. Over 6721

Multiply the amount over $6,721 by 15%.

The amount 3780 is not over 6721, so this amount is 0.

  $0 × 0.15 = $0 . . . . blank 3

D. Total

Add the results from a, b, and c. Round DOWN:

  $1003.50 +852.80 +0 = $1856.30, rounds to $1856 . . . . blank 4
