Is the quotient of two integers, positive, negative, or zero? how can you tell?

Rule: if you have two numbers you are dividing and they are both positive, then the result is positive. If both are negative, then the result is positive (the two negatives cancel out). If only one number is negative and the other positive, then the final result is negative.

Another rule: if the first number of the division problem is 0 and other number is not zero, then the result is 0. If you divide some nonzero number over 0, then the result is undefined. You cannot divide by 0. The zero cannot be in the denominator.

$3720

step-by-step explanation:

taxable income = $31000

as per the 2018-2019 us tax bracket, the tax rate is 12% for an individual whose taxable income is between $9,526 to $38,700.

so, the tax to be paid by him = 12% of 31000

= 0.12 * 31000     [12% converted to decimal as 0.12]

= $3720
