Question

Kelly had a part time job last year.She paid the state $234 income tax.The state income tax rate is 5.2 percent.How much did Kelly earn

Answer 1

$4500

Explanation:

Given data

State income tax= $234

we are told that the tax paid is 5.2% of her income

Let her earnings be x

so

5.2% of x = $234

5.2/100*x=234

0.052x= 234

x= 234/0.052

x= $4500

Hence her earnings is $4500
