Brenda Luai earns $14,260 per year. She is paid 24 times per year and claims 1 exemption. If $19.63 in taxes is withheld from each paycheck, at what rate is she taxed?

14260/24 = 594.17

19.63 / 594.17 = 0.0330376828 = 3.3%

3.5% is the correct answer.

the exemption is $800.

To find the tax rate at which Brenda Luai is taxed, we need to calculate the total annual taxes withheld and divide it by her total annual income.

First, let's calculate the total annual taxes withheld:
Since Brenda is paid 24 times per year and $19.63 in taxes is withheld from each paycheck, the total annual taxes withheld can be calculated by multiplying the tax withheld per paycheck by the number of paychecks per year:
Total annual taxes withheld = $19.63/paycheck * 24 paychecks/year

Next, let's calculate the total annual income:
Brenda earns $14,260 per year.

Now, we can calculate the tax rate:
Tax rate = (Total annual taxes withheld / Total annual income) * 100

Let's plug in the values and calculate the tax rate:

Total annual income = $14,260
Total annual taxes withheld = $19.63/paycheck * 24 paychecks/year

Total annual taxes withheld = $19.63 * 24

Now we can calculate the tax rate:

Tax rate = ($19.63 * 24) / $14,260 * 100

Calculating this expression will give us the tax rate at which Brenda Luai is taxed.
