Best Answer

let y = the tax, in percent

68 + 68 x y/100 = 72.93 => subtract 68 from both sides:

68y / 100 = 4.93 => multiply both sides by 100 to eliminate fractions:

68y = 493 => divide by 68 to isolate y:

y = 7.25%

On the other hand, if you purchase adequate auto insurance coverage on the car before it gets totaled, then you will get compensation for the car.Ans 2 ) Most companies ask a question if the vehicle you are insuring was "totalled" or salvaged before. if the answer is yes, some companies offer liability only for those vehicles.
