In the good old days of Window tax an owner of a 30 sq ft window had to pay �105 in tax, while an owner of a 60 sq ft window had to cough up �195. On this reckoning how much tax would a 90 sq ft window have incurred?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I thought window tax was based on the number of windows rather than the size but anyway, here's my answer.
As the doubling of the window area does not result in a doubling of the tax, I have assumed the tax is based on a constant plus an amount per square foot. This works out to be �15 for each window and �3 per sq foot.
�15 + (30 x �3) = 105 and �15 + (60 x �3) = 195
So, for a window of 90 sq ft the tax is-
�15 + (90 x �3) = �285
