Answer 1

Ella paid 11 percent tax on her earnings.

• Suppose the percentage of tax Ella paid is X.
• According to the above problem, earning of Ella is 88.
• So Ella will pay tax = 88*X%=88*X/100
• According to the problem Ella paid 9.68 as tax.
• So Equating both we can say, 88X/100=9.68
• So, 88X/100=968/100
• So, 88X=968
• So, X=968/88
• So, X=11
• So Ella paid 11% tax.
