Jasmine receives a paycheck every two weeks. This pay period, she earned $1,250, and $275 in taxes were deducted. Set up the percentage proportion to find Jasmine’s tax rate

Answer 1

Let's set up the proportion to find Jasmine's tax rate:

Tax Rate / Total Earnings = Tax Deducted / Total Earnings

Tax Rate / 1250 = 275 / 1250

Now, we can cross multiply:

Tax Rate * 1250 = 275 * 1250

Simplifying, we have:

Tax Rate * 1250 = 343750

Dividing both sides by 1250, we get:

Tax Rate = 343750 / 1250

Tax Rate = 275

Therefore, Jasmine's tax rate is 275 / 1250, which can be expressed as a fraction or decimal.
