Question

Carys is checking her tax bill for the last year.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

£18,240

Explanation:

Carys earned £45,600.  The tax rate for any earnings between £43,000 and £150,000 is 40%.  

40% = 40/100 = 0.4; this makes 40% of 45600

0.4(45600) = 18240

Answer 2

£18240

since the amount she earned falls within the range of the tax rate 40%, multiply her earnings by 0.4.

£45600*0.4= 18240
