Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

tax rate // for income above

0.1        //  $           0

0.12        //  $   13,600

0.22       //   $  51,800

0.24      //    $ 82,500

Mary's income of $79,280 is on the third bracket as is lower than the minimum for the fourth bracket.

first bracket:

$13,600 x 10%    =                     $ 1,360

second bracket:

($51,800 - $13,600) x 12%   =    $ 4,584

third bracket

($79,280 - $51,800) x  22%   =  $ 6,045.6

total tax income: 11,989.6
