I believe the answer is B "excise tax" I think its this answer because I know that the goverment charges income tax, payroll tax, and sales tax.
Answer:
your answer: They are all numbers
Let first consider the equations one by one and will be solving one by one ;

Multiplying both sides by y will lead ;


Now, consider the second equation which is ;

Multiplying both sides by x will yield


As LHS of both equations (i) and (ii) are same, so equating both will yield;

Multiplying both sides by 4 will yield


Dividing both sides by y will yield :

<em>Hence, the required answer is 16</em>
