Question

Mr. John Doe was fighting out his federal income tax. His income was $26,800, but he was able to subtract $5,500in deductions. He paid 15% of the remaining income in tax. How much did he pay?

Answer 1

Mr. John Doe paid $3,195

$26,800 - $5,500 = $21,300

100% - 15% = 85%

$21,300 - 85% = $3,195
