To boost sales around the holidays, the government of the fictional country of Capitalitamia dictates that a citizen may purchase goods up to a total value of $1,000 tax-free but must pay a 7% tax on the portion of the total value in excess of $1,000. How much tax must be paid by a citizen who purchases goods with a total value of $1,220?
(B) $15.40
Value above 1000 will have a tax of 7%, 1220 - 1000 = $ 220
$220 will be taxed @ 7%
$15.40
