Hi Nirupam04,

There are a couple of ways to answer this question:

1) Algebra translation
2) Strategy (the EMPOWERgmat version is known as TEST IT).

If you're going to do the algebra, then you have to translate the math formula and do lots of math:

Tax = .02(I) + (100 unites + .01I)/2
Tax = .02I + 50 + .005I
Tax = 50 + .025I
Tax = 50 + I/40

Using TEST IT, let's say I = 100...

So 2% of 100 + the average of (100 and 1% of 100)
= 2 + 101/2
= 2 + 50.5
= 52.5

Now plug I = 100 into the answers. Only answer C matches!
