Question

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?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

I think it would be 2,980.44693
