In a certain jurisdiction, john who is earning $35,000 currently pays a flat percentage of 15% in income tax. the tax
authorities suggest a change to a progressive income tax system, where the rules for taxation are as follows:
1. charging 10% on a person's income up to $20,000
2. charging 30% on any income above that
how much more will john be paying in income tax under the proposed changes? give your answer in dollars to the nearest
dollar.

 $1,250

Step-by-step explanation:

Flat percentage income tax: $35,000 × 0.15 = $5,250

Progressive income tax: $20,000 × 0.10 + $15,000 × 0.30 = $6,500

The difference between the two tax rates: $6,500 - $5,250 = $1,250

e2020 got it right

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
