Sales taxes are given this classification because high income people pay a smaller percentage of their income on goods and services subject to the sales tax?
As described above, this type of tax is called a "regressive tax".
While the above may be a text book answer...challenge your teacher...by challenging the basic premise of the question: Do high income people really pay less of a percent of income on sales taxable things? I think not! In many places, sales tax is NOT applied to food and housing and other essentials (or is applied at a lower rate). Lower income families spend virtually ALL their income on this. They pay virtually no sales tax. Those with higher incomes will buy a large amount, both dollar and percent wise, of their income on discretionary or luxury things - cars, boats, jewelry, entertainment, meals (which are taxed, food is not), etc. In today's lifestyle, we have seen they frequently spend more on these things than they actually should and even more than they make...many wealthy people are substantially in debt!

What type of tax takes a larger percentage of wealthier taxpayers' income and a smaller percentage of the income of those who earn less?
A progressive tax takes a larger percentage of income from wealthier taxpayers and a smaller percentage from those with lower incomes. This system is designed to reduce income inequality by imposing higher rates on higher income brackets, while lower earners benefit from lower rates. Income tax is a common example of a progressive tax structure.

Which is tax in which the percentage paid decreases as income increases?
The tax in which the percentage paid decreases as income increases is known as a regressive tax. In a regressive tax system, lower-income individuals pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes compared to higher-income individuals. Common examples include sales taxes and certain excise taxes, where the tax burden represents a larger share of income for those with less earnings. As a result, wealthier individuals pay a smaller percentage of their total income in taxes.

Does a smaller rock a have higher or lower percentage of surface area than a larger rock?
It depends on percentage related to WHAT! You cannot express surface area as a percentage of volume since the dimensions are different. So the only percentage you can have is the suface area of the smaller rock as a percentage of the surface area of the larger rock. In that case, the answer, not surprisingly, is that the smaller rock has the smaller percentage surface area.It depends on percentage related to WHAT!
