The income tax in Country X is 8% of any income up to $5,000. For incomes over$5,000, an 8% tax is imposed on the first $5,000, and a 10% tax is imposed on the remaining portion of the total income. If Perry paid$950 in income tax last month, then what was his income?
Incorrect. [[snippet]] __Plug In__ B: If Perry's income is $11,000, then he will pay >__First$5,000__: $$\400$$ >__Next $5,500__: $$10\% \text{ of } \6{,}000 = \600$$ So his total tax will equal$1,000, not $950. Correct. [[snippet]] __Plugging In__ A works: if Perry's income was$10,500, he would pay >__First $5,000__: $$\400$$ >__Next$5,500__: $$10\% \text{ of } \5{,}500 = \550$$ That sums up to the required $950.$10,500
$11,000$13,000
$13,500$14,000
