To determine the rate at which Martin's Federal taxes are withheld, we need to calculate the percentage of Federal taxes withheld from his Gross Pay.

First, let's identify the amount of Federal taxes withheld from Martin's paycheck, which is given as $48.20 in the Earnings statement.

Next, we need to find the Gross Pay, which is also provided in the Earnings statement as $314.76.

To calculate the rate, divide the amount of Federal taxes withheld by the Gross Pay, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

Rate = (Federal taxes withheld / Gross Pay) * 100

Let's perform the calculation:

Rate = ($48.20 / $314.76) * 100

Rate = 0.153 * 100

Rate ≈ 15.3%

Therefore, Martin's Federal taxes are withheld at a rate of approximately 15.3%.
