a tourist does not have to pay tax on the first $ 600 of goods he purchases in country b , but does have to pay a 7 percent tax on the portion of the total value that is in excess of $ 600 . what tax must be paid by a tourist if he buys goods with a total value of $ 1720 ?
correct answer : b the tourist must pay tax on $ 1720 - $ 600 = $ 1120 . thus , the amount of tax he has to pay is 0.07 ( $ 1120 ) = $ 78.40 . the correct answer is b .
divide(multiply(subtract(1720, 600), 7), const_100)
