George had $1,201.87 in taxable income for the last pay period. If the federal income tax rate was 15%, how much did George pay in federal income taxes for the last pay period?

Just multiply the income by .15

1201.87 * .15 = 180.28

He paid $180.28

It could be a trick question though because he didnt have a lot of income so maybe he didn't pay any taxes.. I've heard that's a thing
