Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks us to calculate the rate of benefits for someone named Geoffrey Chaucer who is a skin care specialist with an annual salary of $21,600. the benefits provided to him include various types of insurance and vacation pay. the total amount of these benefits can be calculated by adding $830 for vacation, $1,270 for health insurance, $1,410 for unemployment insurance, $1,339 for Social Security, $313 for Medicare, and $750 for vision and dental insurance.
First, we calculate the total benefits:
$830 + $1,270 + $1,410 + $1,339 + $313 + $750 = $5,912
Next, we find the benefit rate by dividing the total benefits by the annual salary and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage:
($5,912 / $21,600) * 100 = 27.4%
The correct answer that most closely matches this calculated rate is c. 25.9%.
