Let no. of pens be x.

Pens : x
Pencils: x+8

Total: 2x+8

Student takes 1 pen and 5 pencils.

Remainder: 2x+8 - 5 -1 = 2x+2
2x+2 = 26
2x= 24
x = 12 (original no. of pens)
x+ 8 = 20 (original no of pencils)

There are 12 pens at first and 20 pencils.
After 1 pen is taken, 11 pens are left.
After 5 pencils are taken, 20-5=15 pencils are left.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

<em>The total amount of tax paid for the land was $126</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

0.7 / 100 =0.007

This factor can be used to obtain the tax charged for a given value of the land.

The plot of land of the question is valued at $18,000.

0.007*18,000 = 126

The total amount of tax paid for the land was $126
