Question

b) Imagine that you earned $8,425 in one year. If the government enforces a 15% income tax, how much money would you owe in taxes at the end of the year? Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

The tax would be $ 1,263.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total earning in one year = $ 8,425,

Income tax percentage per year on earning = 15%

Hence, the amount of tax at the end of one year

= 15% of the total earnings

= 15% of 8425

$=\frac{15\times 8425}{100}$

$=\frac{126375}{100}$

= $ 1,263.75

Answer 2

$1,263.75 is how much would be taxed 
Take 8425 multiply it by 0.15 to get your answer
