Let x = taxable income = difference of gross income and deductions T = income tax paid = amount sent to the government Use the "filing jointly" chart on the right side. You'll use the second row of that chart since subtracting $72,380.90-$8,295.00 leads to a value between 16750 and 68000. That second row turns into this equation T=1675+0.15(x-16750<span>) w</span>here <span>16750<x≤68000</span>
