Question

Mr. Fuller paid $1,800 worth of income tax. His income tax was $11,250. What was his income tax rate?​

Answer 1

The rate of income tax applied on Mr. Fuller income is 16 % .

Explanation:

Given as :

The total Income of Mr. Fuller = $ 11,250

The total income tax paid by him = $ 1,800

Let The rate of income tax = r %

Now, According to question

The rate of income tax × The total Income of Mr. Fuller = The total income tax paid by him

Or, r % × $ 11,250 = $ 1,800

Or,
`(r)/(100)` × $ 11,250 = $ 1,800

or,
`(r)/(100)` =
`(1800)/(11250)`

Or, r = 0.16 × 100

∴ r = 16 %

So, rate of income tax = r = 16 %

Hence The rate of income tax applied on Mr. Fuller income is 16 % . Answer
