I found it pretty easy, I have no idea about that tax table finding A. I spent the 20mins I had at the end to try and figure that one out and I still didnt get it...

The base rate for any taxable income is the max total amount the previous sector can charge you, so like, going off what i remembered, the previous tax sector (35000-80000) was 10150 + 30c for every dollar over 35000; so the answer i did was A = 10150 + ((80,000-35000)x0.3)
I'm not sure if that makes ANY sense whatsoever..
But in answering that, I didn't realise the trial was only 2 and a half hours... So i didn't attempt about 30marks worth of EASY questions, because i saved those till last. I'm soooo annoyed!

I was going sooo slow because I thought i had ample time! So i went through, applied myself in all the questions, and like i was double checking if my answerswere right, just taking my time. Utterly stupid mistake! Haha.

-> Edit// Yeah i don't think it was ever actually like... Taught, i just remember my teacher saying something about it last year, but then proceeding to say we'll never need to actually know that... Luckily my memory is pretty solid. Haha.
