Alex needs to pay taxes on last year's adjusted gross income. His gross income is $75,000. His adjusted gross income is calculated by decreasing his gross income by 10%. If Alex's income tax rate is 20%, then how much does Alex owe in taxes?
gross income:: 75000
adjusted income:: 0.9*75000 = 67500
tax = 0.20*67500 = $13500
