Problem Solving

Before bing simplified, the instructions for computing income tax in Country X were to add 2 percent of one's annual income to the average (arithmetic mean) of 100 units of R's currency and 1 percent of one's annual income. Which of the following represents the simplified formula for computing the income tax, in Country R's currency, for a person in that country whose annual income is I?
A. 50+I/200
B. 50+I*3/100
C. 50+I/40
D. 100+I/50
E. 100+I*3/100

my answer is E. Can someone help to explain?

Thanks!

I am getting the same. Is that correct ?
Is it 2I/100 + 100 + I/100 = (100 + (3I/100)) = E

I'm getting C.
(100+.01I)/(2)+.02I=50+I/40
Remember that it says the arithmetic mean of 1 percent of the annual income and the 100 R Units. So it'd be .01I+100/2..

truplayer256, your answer is correct. i did not read the description carefully. Thanks!

Before being simplified, the instructions for computing income tax in Country X were to add 2 percent of one's annual income [b]to the average (arithmetic mean) of 100 units of R's currency and 1 percent of one's annual income. [/b]

Actually its like adding A to B, where you have A is 2% annual income and
B= Avg arithmetic mean of (100 + 1%annual income)
Consider (eg. Avg arithmetic mean of x and y= (x+y)/2)
similarly, B= (100 + 1% annual income)/2

Now, we know Annual income = I hence,

B=(100 + (I/100))/2=50+(0.5I)/100

Now A + B = (2I/100) + 50 + (0.5I/100) = 50 + (2.5I/100)=
50 + (I/40)=Ans.) C
