Answer 1

lemme do only California, so you see how's done.

`\bf \begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\stackrel{California}{\textit{14\% of 158609}}}{\left( \cfrac{14}{100} \right)158609}\implies 22205.26`
