Question

A broker had a taxable income of $77,050 last year. if she paid 10% of her income between $0 and $8350, 15% of her income between $8350 and $33,950, and 25% of her income between $33,950 and $77,050 in federal income tax, how much did the broker pay in federal income tax last year?

Answer 1

10 percent is the same as saying  0.10 so we simply do this sum of all parts approach. 
$(.10 \times8350)+(.15 \times(33950-8350)) + (.25\times(77050-33950))$

You should get an answer a bit over 15000 if you plug it into your calculator. Remember, you are taxing a certain amount of dollars at each percentage so don't get hung up on the structure of the taxes. This is why we are subtracting the smaller number from the bigger
