Answer 2

If Daniella is paying 15% of her salary as income tax, the other 85% should be her take-home pay. In this case, Daniella wants to have at least $51,000 as take-home pay.

0.85 (Salary) = $51,000

Salary = $51,000 / 0.85

Salary = $60,000

Therefore Daniella should have at least a salary of $60,000.
