Question 175325
this is a direct proportion problem
:
this means when one variable increases then so does the other and vice versa
:
{{{110/8.5=150/x}}}you will notice that the value increased from 110 to 150 so the tax has to increase too
:
cross multiply
:
8.5(150)=(110)x
:
110x=1275
:
{{{highlight(x=11.6)}}}dollars in tax
