Question

Angel Wynters is a physical therapist. He earns $49,830 a year and is single with no dependents. The state income tax rate is 5% of taxable income. What amount is withheld from his weekly pay for state income tax? (Include steps on you solved it, along with the answer please)

Answer 1

The amount is about 47.91. The steps I used is I first divided his income of $49,830 by the number of weeks in a year, 52, to get his weekly income, which is roughly $958.27. I then divided that by 20 to get 5% of it for the tax, to get $47.91. Hope this helps! :P
