Answer:

Seb pays $3750 tax amount under the current system.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the previous system, the tax charge was 15% flat.

So, if the salary of Seb is $x per annum, then the tax amount was \frac{x \times 15}{100} = 0.15x.

Again, in the current system, the tax charge is 25% for income above $12000.

If we assume that $x > $12000, then the tax amount is \frac{x \times 25}{100} = 0.25x.

As per the given conditions, we can write 0.25x - 0.15x = 1500

⇒ 0.1x = 1500

⇒ x = $15000

Therefore, Seb pays 0.25x = $3750 tax amount under the current system. (Answer)

The product of twice a number and six is the same as the difference of eleven times the number and 6/5 . Find the number
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

-6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

solution;

let,the number be x,

product of <u>twice</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>x</u> and <u>six</u> = the <u>difference </u>

<u>difference of eleven times x and 6/5</u>

or, (2x×6)=(11×x)-(6/5)

or, 12x = 11x - 6/5

or, 12x - 11x = -6/5

therefore,x =-6/5

Therefore, the number required is (-6/5) whose product of twice a number and six is the same as the difference of eleven times the number and 6/5 .
