Answer 2

Answer:

The amount of the income tax is $86.06 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Patricke Meelon works for a company that uses a percentage method to compute income tax withheld.

Patricke is single and claims one allowance of $63.36 each week.

He earns $725 per week.

Patrick earning after deducting allowance = Patrick earning per week - Allowance

Patrick earning after deducting allowance = $725 - $63.36

                                                                      = $661.64

As shown in the table as the $661.64 lies between $645 and $1482.

$81.90 plus (25% of the excess over $645.00)

25% is written in the decimal form.

$= \frac{25}{100}$

= 0.25

Patrick earning over $645 = $ 661.64 - $ 645

                                            = $16.64

Thus

Amount of income tax = 81.90 + 0.25 × 16.64

                                      = 81.90 + 4.16

                                      = $ 86.06

Therefore the amount of the income tax is $86.06 .
