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?

(A) $14.00
(B) $15.40
(C) $54.60
(D) $70.00
(E) $87.40

The total tax paid on goods valued $1,220 is (1,220 - 1,000) x 0.07 = 220 x 0.07 = $15.40.
