Answer 1

Answer: $5,895

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to add the earnings in order to find the total value being taxed.

17,500 + 15,250 = 32,750

We can then find the percent as a decimal by dividing it by 100:

$\frac{18}{100} = .18$

We can then multiply the total earnings by this decimal to find the total income tax:

$32,750 * .18 = 5,895$
