Question

Mr. Fuller paid $1,800 worth of income tax. His income tax was $11,250. What was his income tax rate?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate of income tax applied on Mr. Fuller income is 16 % .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total Income of Mr. Fuller = $ 11,250

The total income tax paid by him = $ 1,800

Let The rate of income tax = r %

Now, According to question

The rate of income tax × The total Income of Mr. Fuller = The total income tax paid by him

Or, r % × $ 11,250 = $ 1,800

Or, $\frac{r}{100}$  × $ 11,250 = $ 1,800

or, $\frac{r}{100}$ = $\frac{1800}{11250}$

Or, r = 0.16 × 100

∴   r = 16 %

So, rate of income tax = r = 16 %

Hence The rate of income tax applied on Mr. Fuller income is 16 % . Answer
