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>

Answer:
9 bottles of soda and 7 bottles of juice
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of bottles of soda purchased and y be the number of bottles of juice purchased.
1. Gabriel purchased 2 more bottles of soda than bottles of juice, then
2. Each bottle of soda has 35 grams of sugar, then there are 35x g of sugar in x bottles of soda.
Each bottle of juice has 10 grams of sugar, then there are 10y g of sugar in y bottles of juice.
In total, there are 35x+10y g of sugar.
All bottles collectively contain 385 grams of sugar, thus
3. Solve the system of two equations:
