Answer:

$9,240.

Explanation:

Given that in 2018, all salaries between $ 38,701 and $ 82,500 had to pay a federal income tax of 22%, and that my salary in that year was $ 42,000, to determine the amount that I had to pay in concept of said tax, the following calculation must be done:

(42,000 x 22) / 100 = X

924,000 / 100 = X

9,240 = X

Therefore, the amount of federal income tax that I had to pay in 2018 was $ 9,240.
