A linguist had a gross income of $53,350 last year. If 17.9% of his income got withheld for federal income tax, how much of the linguist's pay got withheld for federal income tax last year?

so to do this...you would just multiply the gross income (53350) by the tax rate (.179)
This will give you what amount of the money was withheld
