Each Dependent $1,500

$2,361.50
$2,187.50
$2,237.50

Answer 1

Answer: $2,187.50

Explanation:

Define all the exemptions that applie:

exemption for being married: $3000

exemption for 1 dependent: $ 1,500

3000 + 1500 = 4500

Subtract the exemptions from the yearly earnings:

67000 - 4500 = 62,500

Now, applied the 3.5 % tax

3.5 / 100 = (0.035)

62,500 x 0.035 = 2187.50
