Answer:

[tex]\frac{x}{68,000}= \frac{27}{100}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> amount that Jethro owes in taxes

we know that

Amount that he made last year  [tex]\$68,000[/tex]

His tax rate  [tex]27\%=\frac{27}{100}[/tex]

Applying proportion

[tex]\frac{x}{68,000}= \frac{27}{100}[/tex]

solve for x

[tex]x=68,000(27)/100\\x=\$18,360[/tex]
