Question 1100782: For income x (in dollars), a particular state's income tax T (in dollars) is given by
𝑇 𝑥 =
0.035𝑥 𝑖𝑓 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 3,000
85 + 0.045(𝑥 − 3000) 𝑖𝑓 3,000 < 𝑥 ≤ 9,000
335 + 0.065(𝑥 − 9,000) 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 > 9,000
(a) What is the tax on an income of $8,500? Show some work.
(b) What is the tax on an income of $85,000? Show some work.

8500 falls in the range of 3000%3C=x%3C=9000
T%288500%29=85+%2B+0.045%288500-3000%29
T%288500%29=85+%2B+0.045%285500%29
Finish that to get the tax.

85000 falls in the range of x%3E9000
T%2885000%29=335+%2B+0.065%2885000-9000%29
T%2885000%29=335+%2B+0.065%2876000%29
Finish that to get the tax.
