Line 3 Over 753, But not over 1,762, Base tax 97.75, Rate 25 percent, Amount over 753. Line 4 Over 1,762, But not over 3,627, Base tax 350.00, Rate 28 percent, Amount over 1,762.

A.

Answer 1

He worked 27 hours at 13.35 per hour so his gross pay was $357.75.

So he fits into the range in row 2 of $218-$753 of taxable income.  So the answer is line 2.

Hope that helps.
