Answer explanation

1. The statement should assign both values 3100.0 and 1350.0 respectively to th variables wage and tax.
2. The reference pay = new Freelancer(3400); assigns the value 3400 – 300 = 3100.0 to the variable wage, and assigns the value (tax = 1234 – 3400/100 = 1200) 1200 to the variable tax. By invoking the method pay.setTax(); the value (this.tax += 150 = 1200 + 150 = 1350) 1350  is assigned to the variable tax.
3. So, the statement is fr = (Freelancer) pay;
