Question

A man pays 20 percent of his total income in tax. his weekly tax is $100. what is his total weekly income?

Answer 1

To determine the total weekly income of the man, we simply subtract the amount of the tax he should pay to his gross weekly income. The gross weekly income of the man is $100. Twenty percent of this is $20. Therefore, the total weekly income would be 100- 20 =  $80.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is: $500

Explanation:

To calculate this man's weekly income if we are given his tax rate and the tax amount he paid, we can use the following formula:

• weekly tax paid = weekly income x income tax rate

$100 = weekly income x 20%

$100 / 20% = weekly income

weekly income = $500
