According to the oxford dictionary, the word taxes defines as a compulsory contribution to state revenue, levied by the government on workers' income and business profits, or added to the cost of some goods, services, and transactions.

$explanation$
Money is taken from your yearly earnings to pay for services such as the Police, Emergancy Services, Military, Schools, Postal Service ect. It is also used to pay workers who work in a federal agency such as Postal Workers and the FBI. Citizens of the United States are taxed on items that are non-edible, such as a TV, and phones in stores. Tax percentages differ in every state.

Taxes are destributed to states so the states could build roads, schools, police stations and a lot more stuff.

The country can run Social Programs such as Social Security from taxes.

Write the following number as ratios of integers

Our goal here is to somehow "surgically remove" the repeating part of the number, so let's start by putting the original value in a variable and messing around with it a bit.

We'll let $x=7.\overline{6}$ . We want to cut the $0.\overline{6}$ bit off completely, so let's create the scalpel that'll let us do that. If $x=7.\overline{6}$ , then we can also say that $10x=76.\overline{6}$ . Maybe I was lying a bit: the $x$ is our real scalpel here, and $10x$ is where we'll be making the cut. Mathematically, a "cut" is almost always shorthand for subtraction, so let's see what our operation (cutting $x$ off of $10x$ ) leaves us with:

$10x-x=76.\overline{6}-7.\overline{6}\\9x=69$

The operation was a success! We can now simply divide either side by 9 to find $x = 69/9$ , which, when reduced by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3, gives us $x=23/3$
