Last year Mr. John Q. Public received an inheritance. He paid 20% in federal taxes on the inheritance, and paid 10% of what he had left in state taxes. He paid a total of $10, 500 for both taxes. How many dollars was the inheritance?

(A) 30, 000
(B) 32, 500
(C) 35, 000
(D) 37, 500
(E) 40, 000

We can create the equation:

0.2n + 0.1(0.8n) = 10,500

0.2n + 0.08n = 10,500

0.28n = 10,500

n = 37,500

Answer: D
