Question

Sarah paid $1,932 in tax on her new car

Answer 1

Answer: D. Purchase Price = $85,000 & Tax = $2,040

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Sarah paid $1,932 in tax on her new car which had a purchase price of $80,500. The constant of proportionality here will be:

= $80500 / $1932

= 41.67

The options that varies directly with the above will be:

A. Purchase Price = $68,000 & Tax = $1,020

Constant of proportionality

= $68000 / $1020 = 66.67

B) Purchase Price = $92,000 & Tax = $2,760

Constant of proportionality:

= $92000 / $2760

= 33.33

C) Purchase Price = $75,000, Tax = $1,350

Constant of proportionality:

= $75000 / $1350

= 55.56

D) Purchase Price = $85,000 & Tax = $2,040

Constant of proportionality:

= 85000 / 2040

= 41.67

Based on the calculation, we can see.that option D has thesame constant of proportionality with the figure calculated.
