Answer:

7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

  • Bert earns $35,000 gross annual salary
  • Any amounts earned up to $20,000 are taxed at x%
  • Any amounts earned beyond $20,000 are taxed at 20%
  • Bert pays $4,500 per annum in income tax

To find x

Amount earned beyond $20,000

= $35,000 - $20,000

= $15,000

That is the amount to be taxed at 20%

Therefore,

x% × 20000 + 20% × 15000 = 4500

200x + 3000 = 4500

200x = 4500 - 3000

200x = 1500

x = 1500/200

x = 7.5
