Explanation:

To find the state income tax in this situation, we would need to be doing a lot of multiplying and dividing in order to get our answer.

We would use this equation:

t = px

t = Total paid

p = percentage

x = unknown

In this case, we would need to find what x is.

Let's give you the equation:

15,449.60 = 28.4x

We would need to get x by itself, so we would divide by 28.4. But first, we would need to move the decimal place from 28.4 2 times to the left, so we would be dividing by .284

Now, that;;s the federal income tax, but we have to find the state income tax. We would use 54,400 and miltiply it by 3.75 (move 2 decimal places to the left to get 0.0375).

Agnes payed $2,040 in state income tax.

D). $2,040 should be your FINAL answer.
