Question

Priya had $52.50 deducted from her paycheck. If priya income tax rate is at 12% find pittas total income before tax

Answer 1

To find Priya's total income before tax, you can use the formula for calculating income tax:

\[
\text{Total Income} = \frac{\text{Tax Amount}}{\text{Tax Rate}}
\]

In this case, Priya had $52.50 deducted as income tax, and her income tax rate is 12% (which is 0.12 in decimal form).

Substituting the values into the formula, we get:

\[
\text{Total Income} = \frac{52.50}{0.12}
\]

Now, perform the calculation:

\[
\text{Total Income} = 437.50
\]

Therefore, Priya's total income before tax is **$437.50**.
