Question 388674
Let's assume that the adjusted income is over $23,350



So because of this assumption, this means that "the taxpayer must pay $3,502 plus 28% of any amount over $23,350". What this means is that the tax payer is guaranteed to pay $3,502. So this means that the tax so far is {{{T=3502}}}. Then the payer is expected to pay 28% of what's over $23,350. So you must add {{{0.28(A-23350)}}} because {{{A-23350}}} is the "amount over $23,350" and 0.28 is the decimal form of 28% 




So the tax formula is {{{T=0.28(A-23350)+3502}}}



Ex: Say that the payer earns $25,000. This means that s/he will pay {{{T=0.28(25000-23350)+3502=3964}}} dollars in taxes.
