To find the income ta, find out how many times the income tax percentage goes into 100. Then divide that by whatever the starting amount is, and multiply by how many years the tax is either deducted or added

Answer:

Option C. $48.90

Explanation:

Given gross pay = $978

State income tax rate = 5%

State income tax deducted = 5% of $978

=
(5)/(100)* 978

= 0.05 × 978

= $48.90

Option C. $48.90 deducted for state income tax.
