Question

income of $40,000paid $ 8,800 in federal income taxes. What fraction shows how much my parents spent on their federal​ taxes?

Answer 1

Hello,

If you want to find the fraction that was spent on taxes, you should put the amount of taxes over the total amount.

You would have 8800/40000.

This fraction can be reduced to 22/100 or 11/50. It could also be written as 22%.

Best of luck,
MrEQ
