Answer: They'll both pay same percentage under the proportional tax.
Explanation:
A proportional tax is a type of tax whereby the low income earners and the high income earners all pay thesame percentage of their income. For example, if Michelle earns
$40,000 per year and Rosa earns $100,000 per year, a proportional tax will be let's say 10% for both of them.
Therefore, Michelle would pay:
= 10% × $40,000
= 0.1 × $40,000
= $4000
Rosa would pay:
= 10% × $100,000
= 0.1 × $100,000
= $10,000
