Answer:
C.
0.10(20,000) + 0.18(30,000) + 0.27(x − 50,000)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take this one step at a time. First, the $20000 dollars is taxed by 10% = .10 as a decimal. So the first term is
<u>.10(20000) </u>
Next, we have to add on the second term, wherein the next $30000 is taxed by .18. So the second term is
.10(20000) <u>+ .18(30000)</u>
Then, we have to take whatever's left, whatever we haven't yet taxed, and tax it at a 27% rate. This means x-50000, not x, because we're taking whatever's over the initial 50000 that we've already taxed.
0.10(20,000) + 0.18(30,000) <u>+ 0.27(x − 50,000) </u>
