A system calculates the amount of customs duty to be paid:
_ No duty is paid on goods value up to, and including, $2,000.
_ The next $8,000 is taxed at 10%.
_ The next $20,000 after that is taxed at 12%.
_ Any further amount after that is taxed at 17%.
To the nearest $, which of these groups of numbers fall into three DIFFERENT equivalence classes?
To determine the correct set of values that fall into three different equivalence classes, we need to consider the different tax brackets outlined in the problem. $2,000 is in the first class where no duty is paid. $2,001 falls in the second class where the next $8,000 is taxed at 10%. $10,000 falls in the third class where the next $20,000 after the initial $10,000 is taxed at 12%. This means the provided values $2,000, $2,001, and $10,000 fall into three different equivalence classes based on the customs duty calculations.
C is correct
