MegaMart collects a sales tax equal to 1/16 of the retail price of each purchase and sends this money to the state government.

a. Is the amount of tax collected proportional to the cost of an item before tax is added?

b. Is the amount of tax collected proportional to the cost of an item after tax has been added?

yes i know, but i don't why it end up with 17/16*price. how it became 17?

Tax=1/16* price

cost=tax+price=1/16 price+price=17/16* price
Answered by Ms. Sue
16/16 = 1

1 + 1/16 = 17/16
