The bot is wrong

Answer 3

Let the tax rate be represented by x.

To set up the percentage proportion, we can write the equation:

(275 / 1250) = (x / 100)

Now, we can solve for x by cross multiplying:

275 * 100 = 1250 * x

27500 = 1250x

Divide both sides by 1250:

27500/1250 = x

x = 22

Therefore, Jasmine's tax rate is 22%.

Answer 4

Apologies for the confusion.

Let the tax rate be represented by x.

To set up the percentage proportion, we can write the equation:

(275 / 1250) = (x / 100)

Now, we can solve for x by cross multiplying:

275 * 100 = 1250 * x

27500 = 1250x

Divide both sides by 1250:

27500/1250 = x

x = 22/1

Therefore, Jasmine's tax rate is 22/1 or 22/100, which can be simplified to 11/50.
