Answer 1

Sue Brown owes $280.00 in state taxes for the month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Gross pay of Sue in June = $8000

Tax rate = 3.5%

As full amount is taxable; therefore

Amount of tax to be paid = 3.5% of pay of June

Amount of tax to be paid = $\frac{3.5}{100}*8000$

Amount of tax to be paid = 0.035*8000

Amount of tax to be paid = $280.00

Sue Brown owes $280.00 in state taxes for the month.
