Answer:
[tex]\frac{x}{68,000}= \frac{27}{100}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> amount that Jethro owes in taxes
we know that
Amount that he made last year [tex]\$68,000[/tex]
His tax rate [tex]27\%=\frac{27}{100}[/tex]
Applying proportion
[tex]\frac{x}{68,000}= \frac{27}{100}[/tex]
solve for x
[tex]x=68,000(27)/100\\x=\$18,360[/tex]
