Question

Amari pays $7,440 in taxes on his income of $46,500. What percentage of his income is going toward taxes???

Answer 1

Explanation:

You divide 7,440 by 46,500 because that is the amount of his income going towards taxes.

7440/46500 = .16

.16=16%

Answer 2

16%

Explanation:

percent = part/whole × 100%

percent = 7440/46500 × 100%

percent = 0.16 × 100%

percent = 16%
