    This situation represents progressive type of tax system.

    Explanation:

    A progressive tax is laid on the people based on their ability to pay. A lower tax rate is charged for the individual with low income compared to the person with higher income. The tax rate is fixed based on the income of the person. The high income earners are charged tax with higher percentage.

    In the above scenario, the income of Olaf is $100,000. So he pays $20,000 as tax. George earns $200,000, so he pays $48,000 as tax. George pays tax higher than Olaf, as he earns higher than Olaf.
