Answer: D. Purchase Price = $85,000 & Tax = $2,040
Explanation:
From the question, Sarah paid $1,932 in tax on her new car which had a purchase price of $80,500. The constant of proportionality here will be:
= $80500 / $1932
= 41.67
The options that varies directly with the above will be:
A. Purchase Price = $68,000 & Tax = $1,020
Constant of proportionality
= $68000 / $1020 = 66.67
B) Purchase Price = $92,000 & Tax = $2,760
Constant of proportionality:
= $92000 / $2760
= 33.33
C) Purchase Price = $75,000, Tax = $1,350
Constant of proportionality:
= $75000 / $1350
= 55.56
D) Purchase Price = $85,000 & Tax = $2,040
Constant of proportionality:
= 85000 / 2040
= 41.67
Based on the calculation, we can see.that option D has thesame constant of proportionality with the figure calculated.
