Answer:
$223.21
Step-by-step explanation:
Last year the amount of taxes was x, an unknown amount. That was 100% of last year's tax cost.
This year, taxes went up by 12%, so this year the taxes are 112% of what they were last year. This year the taxes were 112% of x, and they were $250.
112% of x = 250
1.12x = 250
x = 250/1.12
x = 223.21
Answer: $223.21
Answer: 6,800,000 people
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for the number of people, not the percentage of wealth that has been made up by the people.
2% of the people are the richest in the United States, and there are 340,000,000 people in total in the United States.
2% = 0.02
340,000,000 * 0.02 = 6,800,000
