Answer:
$6615.88
Explanations:
Earning in 1983 = $39250
tax rate in 1983 = 6.70%
Tax paid in 1983 = (6.70/100 x 39250)
Tax paid in 1983 = $2629.75
Earning in 1987 = $55750
Tax rate in 1987 = 7.15%
Tax paid in 1987 = (7.15/100 x 55750)
Tax paid in 1987 = $3986.125
FICA tax paid for the combined years = $2629.75 + $3986.125
FICA tax paid for the combined years = $6615.875
FICA tax paid for the combined years = $6615.88 (to the nearest 2 decimal places )
