Explanation:

A proportional tax is a tax where the tax - rate is constant regardless of income level. Mr. Brown and Mr. Joseph paying 15% of their income as income tax is an example of a proportional tax. A regressive tax takes a larger percentage of income from low - income earners than from high - income earners. Rose and Jack paying the same $200 in sales tax is regressive as a higher percentage of Jack's income goes towards the sales tax. A progressive tax has a higher tax rate for higher income levels. Mia's income tax rate increasing with a raise is an example of a progressive tax.

Answer:

proportional tax: Mr. Brown and Mr. Joseph paying income tax equivalent to 15% of their income
regressive tax: Rose and Jack each buying the same television and paying $200 in sales tax
