Question 1134070

A particular state computed income tax, T (in dollars) on a person’s income, x (in dollars), by the following formula:


T (x) ={0.018x if 0 ≤ x ≤ 5,000

90+ 0.025 (x-5,000) if 5,000 < x < 10,000

215 +0.050 (x-10,000) if x > 10,000

What is the tax on an income of $7,300? Show work.

T (x) ={0.018x if 0 ≤ x ≤ 5,000

T(x) = ( 0.018*5000)= 90

90+ 0.025 (x-5,000) if 5,000 < x < 10,000
7300 - 5000 = 2300  

90+0.025(2300) = $147.5  on $7300 income

(b) What is the tax on an income of $73,000? Show work.
Use same method tocalculate for $73000
