Question

Amber's gross pay is $45,700 a year. The income tax rate is 4%, and she takes $2,000 in exemptions. What is her withholding for the year? Group of answer choices $1,925 $1,501 $1,846 $1,748

Answer 1

so she gets $45,700 total howeveer $2000 of those are exempted from taxation, so 45700 - 2000 = 43700 is the amount that is taxable, and the tax is 4% for her so the withholding will be 4% of 43700 or

`\begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{4\% of 43700}}{\left( \cfrac{4}{100} \right)43700}\implies 1748`
