s due for reform, and politicians have suggested the following:

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)

How to solve 3+5 (c+3)=-17
BlackZzzverrR [31]
3 + 5(c + 3) = -17

First, subtract 3 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 5(c + 3) = -17 - 3
Second, simplify -17 - 3 to get -20. / Your problem should look like: 5(c + 3) = -20
Third, divide both sides by 5. / Your problem should look like: c + 3 =  -\frac{20}{5}
Fourth, simplify \frac{20}{5} to 4. / Your problem should look like: c + 3 = -4
Fifth, subtract 3 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: c = -4 - 3
Sixth, simplify -4 - 3 to get -7. / Your problem should look like: c = -7

Answer: c = -7
