Question 1208366
<font color=black size=3>
x = taxable income that is somewhere between $85,650 and $178,650
x-85650 = extra amount over $85650
28% of that is represented by 0.28*(x - 85650)


Add on 17,442 so we determine the amount of tax paid.
17442 + 0.28*(x - 85650) = tax paid
17442 + 0.28*(x - 85650) = 22549
17442 + 0.28*x - 23982 = 22549
-6540 + 0.28*x = 22549
0.28*x = 22549 + 6540
0.28*x = 29089
x = 29089/0.28
x = 103889.28571428571 approximately
x = 103889.29



Answer: $103,889.29
