  • 21. Excise Tax on Gasoline in Different Countries

    The graph shows the prices of gasoline in eight countries. Use percent to compare the taxes collected per gallon of gasoline in the United States with those collected in Germany. (See Example 6.)

    • Worked-Out Solution

      The gasoline excise tax in Germany is $4.54 per gallon. In the United States, the gasoline excise tax is $0.41 per gallon. There are different ways to compare these two amounts.

      "Gasoline excise tax in Germany is about 11 times the gasoline excise tax in the United States."

      "Gasoline excise tax in Germany is about 1100% of the gasoline excise tax in the United States."

      "Gasoline excise tax in the United States is less than one tenth of the gasoline excise tax in Germany."

      "Gasoline excise tax in the United States is about 9% of the gasoline excise tax in Germany."

      A different approach to answering the question is to compare the percent of the retail value that is excise tax in each country.
