Answer:
13.9 is the right answer :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Megan's tax rates were as follows:
<span>No tax one the first £11000 of earnings
</span><span>Earnings in excess of £11000 and up to £43000 taxed at a rate of 20%
</span><span>Earning in excess of 43000 and up to £150000 taxed at a rate of 40%
</span>Earnings over £150000 taxed at a rate of 45%
If Megan earned £158900 before tax last year, the amount of tax she paid in total is given as follows:
First <span>£11000 = </span><span>£0 tax
</span>Balance after first <span>£11000 = </span><span>£158900 - </span><span>£11000 = </span><span>£147900
</span>
Next (<span>£43000 - </span><span>£11000 = </span><span>£32000) = 20% of </span><span>£32000 = 0.2 x </span><span>£32000 = </span>£6400 tax
Balance after next <span>£32000 = </span><span>£147900 - </span><span>£32000 = </span><span><span>£115000</span> </span>
Next (<span>£150000 - </span><span>£43000 = </span><span>£107000) = 40% of </span><span>£107000 = 0.4 x </span><span>£107000 = </span><span>£42800 tax</span>
Balance after next <span>£107000 = </span><span>£115000 - </span><span>£107000 = </span><span>£8000</span>
Remaiming <span>£8000 = 45% of </span><span>£8000 = 0.45 x </span><span>£8000 = </span><span>£3600 tax</span>
Total tax = <span>£6400 + </span><span>£42800 + </span><span>£3600 = </span><span>£52800
Therefore, she paid a total of </span><span>£52800 in tax last year.</span>
58r=70
r=35/29
r≈1.2069
So the rate was about 1.21 or if you prefer about 20.7%
It would be associative property because the order of the numbers stayed the same
X = 30 because the ratio of 27/45 = .6 so 18/.6 is 30
