b.
$15.13
c.
$15.77
d.
$16.34

Answer 1

Federal tax: $86
State tax rate: 19% (0.19)
(86) x (0.19) = 16.34

d. $16.34

Answer 2

D) $16.34

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are no subsidies at source, the tax amount will be calculated without deductions. For Luce's income bracket the federal tax rate is $ 86. If the state tax is 19% of the federal tax amount, then the tax will be:

State Tax = 19/100 * $ 86

State tax = 0.19 * $ 86

State Tax = $ 16.34

Soon, Luce will contribute $ 16.34
