LINDA INHERITED AN ESTATE WORTH $225,000. THE ATTORNEY TOLD HER THAT THE INHERITANCE TAX WAS 7% AND THAT THEY WOULD DEDUCT IT FROM THE ESTATE BEFORE GIVING HER THE MONEY. HOW MUCH MONEY WILL LINDA RECEIVE?

I'll be glad to check your answer.

To calculate how much money Linda will receive after the deduction of the inheritance tax, we first need to find the amount of the tax.

The inheritance tax is 7% of the estate worth, which is $225,000.

To find the amount of the inheritance tax, we can use the following formula:
Tax = (Percentage / 100) x Amount

Plugging in the values, we have:
Tax = (7 / 100) x $225,000

Now, we can calculate the tax:
Tax = 0.07 x $225,000
Tax = $15,750

So, the inheritance tax that will be deducted from the estate is $15,750.

To find the amount of money Linda will receive, we subtract the inheritance tax from the estate worth:
Amount received by Linda = Estate worth - Tax

Plugging in the values, we have:
Amount received by Linda = $225,000 - $15,750
Amount received by Linda = $209,250

Therefore, Linda will receive $209,250 after the deduction of the inheritance tax.
