Using proportions, it is found that the federal tax rate is of 10%.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The tax rate is the <u>proportion that $17.50 is of $175</u>, hence:

r = 17.50/175 = 0.1 = 10%.

The federal tax rate is of 10%.
