Answer

$ f(70)=60$. The government tax revenue is $\$70$ at the tax rate of $60\%$. The point is $(70,60)$.

Work Step by Step

The given function is $f(x)=\frac{80x-8000}{x-110}$, $30\leq x\leq100$. Replace $x$ with $70$. $\Rightarrow f(70)=\frac{80(70)-8000}{70-110}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow f(70)=\frac{5600-8000}{-40}$ $\Rightarrow f(70)=\frac{-2400}{-40}$ $\Rightarrow f(70)=60$. Hence, the government tax revenue is $\$70$ at the tax rate of $60\%$. The point is $(70,60)$.
