Income Tax Problem

by Mr_T » Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:18 pm
Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble understanding this problem:

Before being simplified, the instructions for computing income tax in Country R were to add 2 percent of one's annual income to the average (arithmetic mean) of 100 units of Country 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?

The answer is 50 + I/40.

Thanks,

mr T
