Tax rates are 10% on the first 10,000 you earn and 20% on amounts over that. you earn 15,000. what is your tax?

This problem can be divided into two parts Part 1 - income up to $10,000 times 10% = $1,000 Part 2 - income over $10,000 = $15,000 - 10,000 = $5,000then, $5,000 times 20% = $1,000 Finally, $1,000 + 1,000 = $2,000

To figure this out, we just need to simplify as much as we can for each problem, and then find a common denominator.

A

4/6 = 9/12

2/3 = 3/4

this is false

B

4/6 < 9/12

2/3 < 3/4

8/12 < 9/12

this is true, but let's look at the others just in case

C

4/6 > 10/12

2/3 > 5/6

4/6 > 5/6

this is false

D

It looks like C and D are the same. This means D is also false.

So B is the only true statement

B
