Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Parameters:

New York Pricing:

Before tax = $2,500

After tax = $2,600

Difference = $2,600 - $2,500 = $100

Percentage of tax = (100/2500) * 100 = 4%

New Jersey Pricing:

Before tax = $2,000

After tax = $2,140

Difference = $2,140 - $2,000 = $140

Percentage of tax = (140/2000) * 100 = 4%
