A. $30
B. $56
C. $50
D. $60
E. None of these

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount Rebecca pays as tax = 5/6 of what she earns

Therefore, amount she keeps = 1/6

Let the amount she earned this week = x

Therefore,

$\frac{1}{6} \times x = 10 \\ x = \frac{10 \times 6}{1} \\ x = 60$

Therefore, Rebecca earns $60 this week
