Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If taxes have been underpaid, it won’t matter to the IRS who is responsible. If the return was filed jointly, the government can go after both even if one didn’t personally earn one penny of the reported income.

Hence in the given case,

For the unpaid amount of $38,200 IRS can assess either Mr.peterson or Mrs.Peterson for the entire deficiency as both are jointly and severally liable for the tax paid before they got divorced.

Marina paid $2,000 for a tablet PC after receiving a 25 percent discount. What was the price of the tablet before the discount?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The price of the tablet before the discount is $ 2667

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Marina paid $2,000 for a tablet PC after receiving a 25 percent discount

To find: The price of the tablet before the discount

Let "a" be the price of the tablet before the discount or original price

After receiving a 25 percent discount means 25 percent discount in original price

Discount = 25 % of original price

Discount = 25 % of "a"

\begin{array}{l}{\text {discount}=\frac{25}{100} \times a} \\\\ {\text {discount}=0.25 a}\end{array}

Now we can say that,

<em>price of tablet after discount = price of the tablet before the discount - discount</em>

2000 = a - 0.25a

0.75a = 2000

a = 2666.67 ≈ 2667

Thus the price of the tablet before the discount is $ 2667
