Tonya lives in Texas. On a trip to Kansas her car broke down in Oklahoma. She used a gas station bathroom but did not buy gas. When she got to Kansas she refueled her vehicle and attended her conference where she ate food and purchased a trinket. She paid a sales tax on the trinket. On her way back she detoured to Colorado and marveled at the beauty of the bighorn sheep and the North American river otter. In which states was Tonya a free rider?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Oklahoma (used a gas station bathroom but didn't by gas)

Explanation:

A free rider is someone that benefits from using a service or a product but that doesn't pay for it. E.g. a person that lives in city A and travels to city B and uses public parks. The parks are financed through taxes paid by residents of city B, since you pay your taxes in city A, you are a free rider in city B.

Her trip to Colorado wouldn't be considered a free ride since the bighorn sheep and the river are things that occur naturally and no one paid to make them.
