80% is equal to 220

1) Set up a proportion:
80/100=220/x

2) Simplify:
4/5=220/x

3) Solve by cross-multiplying:
4x=1100
x=275

Original Price: 275

80% of p = 220 (We know this as the sale price is 20% off, so there is still 80%)

0.8p = 220

p = 220/0.8 (This is because we are making p the subject of the formula)

p = 275 (If you are not allowed to use a calculator for this, then: 220/0.8 is the same as 2200/8 because we are just simply multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 10. This can be simply worked out by long division)

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, $22 is correct

If Helen Ming receives travel allowance of $220 from her company for time away from home

She has a 10% income tax rate

The amount she has to pay in taxes for the employee benefits is

10% of $220

10/100*$220

=0.1*$220

=$22

So you are correct

The only reason why you could be wrong is if the question is different from what you posted above just like the below question

Helen Ming receives a travel allowance of $220 each week from her company for time away from home. If this allowance is taxable and she has a 15 percent income tax rate, what amount will she have to pay in taxes for this employee benefit?

Here the amount she has to pay for the employee benefits is

15% of $220

15/100*$220

=0.15*$220

=$33
