Amount of taxes payed on $125000 is federal 50% and state 30%. The federal tax is computed after state tax paid. The state tax is computed after federal tax is paid. How much is the federal and state taxes?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solution: Let y be the total income
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, State Tax= y x 30%
\n" ); document.write( " =30y/100
\n" ); document.write( " =3y/10
\n" ); document.write( "Income after State Tax = y - 3y/10
\n" ); document.write( " = 7y/10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, Federal Tax= 7y/10 x 50%
\n" ); document.write( " = 7y/20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so total tax= 3y/10 + 7y/20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now this total tax must be equal to 125000
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore,
\n" ); document.write( "3y/10 + 7y/20 = 125000
\n" ); document.write( "(6y + 7y)/20 = 125000
\n" ); document.write( "13y/20 = 125000
\n" ); document.write( "so, y = (125000 x 20)/13
\n" ); document.write( " y= $192307.69
\n" ); document.write( "State Tax= $192307.69 x 30%
\n" ); document.write( " =$ 57692.31
