Megan is checking her rax bill for the last year. The tax rates were as follows: No tax on the first £11 000 Earnings in excess of £11 000 and up to £43 000 taxed at a rate of 20% Earnings in excess of £43 000 and up to £150 000 taxed at a rate of 40% Esrnings over £150 000 taxed at a rate of 45% Last year, Megan earned £158 900. How much tax did she pay in total

£53,205

Step-by-step explanation:

As Megan is in the highest tax bracket, she will have to pay the maximum tax in each bracket up till her own.

Bracket 1 = (11,000 - 0) * 0% = £0

Bracket 2 = (43,000 - 11,000) * 20% = £6,400

Bracket 3 = (150,000 - 43,000) * 40% = £42,800

Bracket 4 = (158,900 - 150,000) * 45% = £4,005

Total tax = 6,400 + 42,800 + 4,005

= £53,205

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
