Answer 1

Answer:

Tax on 2400 naira = 190 kobo

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The first 500 naira is tax free.

Amount earned = 2400 naira

Amount to be taxed = 2400 - 500 = 1900 naira

Payable tax = 10 kobo on every naira

1 naira = 10 kobo

1900 naira = $\frac{1900*10}{100}$

1900 naira = 190 kobo

Hence,

Tax on 2400 naira = 190 kobo
