Question

The tax on a $600 vase is $54. What should be the tax on a $1700 base

Answer 1

$153 tax on $1700 vase

Answer 2

Answer:

Tax on a $1700 base is:

$ 153

Step-by-step explanation:

The tax on a $600 vase is $54.

i.e. $\dfrac{x}{100}\times 600=54$

i.e. 6x= 54

Dividing both sides by 6, we get

x= 9

Now, tax on $1700 base = $\dfrac{9}{100}\times 1700$

                                         = 9× 17

                                         = 153

Hence, tax on a $1700 base is:

$ 153
