Selina claims single having one exemption. her state tax deduction is 21% of her federal tax contribution. calculate the amount of state tax selina owes if her gross pay for two weeks is $840.

I have attached federal tax table is for biweekly earnings of a single person.

state tax Selena owes = $16.8

Explanation:

1- getting the Federal tax:

We are given that:

her biweekly salary = $840

her claimed allowance = 1 exemption

Using the attached table, we can deduce that:

federal tax = $80

2- getting the state tax:

We know that the state tax is 21% of the federal tax.

This means that:

state tax = 21% * federal tax

state tax = 0.21 * 80

state tax = $16.8

Hope this helps :)

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.  

probably .5
