Answer:
Caroline has to pay $8600 taxes
Jennifer has to pay $10320 taxes
Step-by-step explanation:
I guess the question is who has to pay how much taxes, right ?
Caroline earns $49000, and I guess, she belongs to a health fund.
she has to pay $5000 for the first $40000.
and for the remaining $9000 she has to pay $0.40 per dollar.
that means 9000×0.4 = $3600
and no penalties for no health fund.
so altogether $5000 + $3600 = $8600 taxes
Jennifer earns $51000 and did not belong to a health fund.
she has to pay $9000 for the first $50000.
and for the remaining $1000 she had to pay $0.30 part dollar.
that means 1000×0.3 = $300
and 2% of the total income because no health fund
51000×0.02 = $1020
so, altogether $9000+$300+$1020 = $10320 taxes
