Jill pays tax at 20c in the dollar for every dollar earned over $10 000. If Jill earns $x and x > 10 000, write an expression for Jill's tax in expanded form.
Well, well, well, it seems Jill has caught the attention of the taxman! Now, let's calculate her tax using some clownishly entertaining math.
If Jill earns $x and her income is greater than $10,000, the expression for her tax in expanded form would be:
Tax = (x - 10,000) * 0.20
We subtract $10,000 from Jill's income to determine the amount she earns above that threshold. Then we multiply it by 0.20 (which is 20 cents in decimal form) to calculate her tax.
Hope that helps clear the tax cloud in a way that makes you smile!
To calculate Jill's tax, we need to find the amount of money she earned over $10,000 and multiply it by the tax rate, which is 20 cents in the dollar.
Let's call Jill's earnings $x.
Step 1: Calculate the amount earned over $10,000
Amount earned over $10,000 = x - $10,000
Step 2: Calculate the tax
Tax = Amount earned over $10,000 * (20 cents)
To express this in expanded form, we can multiply the amount earned over $10,000 by 20 cents:
Tax = (x - $10,000) * (20/100)
Simplifying this expression:
Tax = (x - $10,000) * 0.20
Therefore, the expression for Jill's tax in expanded form is (x - $10,000) * 0.20.
To write an expression for Jill's tax in expanded form, we can start by understanding the tax rate and the range of income where the tax applies.
Given that Jill pays tax at a rate of 20 cents in the dollar for every dollar earned over $10,000, it means that for every dollar she earns above $10,000, she will pay 20 cents in tax. Therefore, the tax rate can be expressed as 0.20 (equivalent to 20 cents).
Let's assume Jill earns $x, where x is greater than $10,000. To calculate Jill's tax, we need to determine the amount she earns above $10,000 and multiply it by the tax rate of 0.20.
The expression for Jill's tax in expanded form can be written as:
Tax = 0.20 * (x - 10,000)
This expression calculates the tax by subtracting $10,000 from Jill's income (x) to find the amount earned above $10,000. Then, it multiplies that excess amount by the tax rate of 0.20 to determine Jill's tax liability.
