the answer to the equation is fifteen
Answer:
Step-by-step explanations:
The failure to file penalty refers to the amount of money that a tax payer has to pay as penalty for not filing his tax before the assigned deadline. The failure to pay penalty is 0.5% of the tax balance that is owned per month.
Thus, for Elijah, who is owning $88, the failure to pay penalty is 0.5% *88 = $0.44.
Elijah has to pay $0.44 per month for the period during which he withhold the tax.
So we start out by finding out what 80% of 500 is by,
500 * .80 = 400
So if 80% is 400 that means that there is still space available for 100 more gallons!
How the heck did we know that?!?
simple 500- 400= 100
So that leaves us knowing that there are 100 gallons left that can be held!! :)
So your answer is 100 gallons!!
I hope that this helped!
