Al earns $400 each week mowing lawns. His tax rate is 13%. Find the amount of income tax he needs to pay

Answer 1

To find the amount of income tax Al needs to pay, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Income Tax} = \text{Income} \times \text{Tax Rate} \]

1. Al's weekly income is $400.
2. His tax rate is 13%, which can be expressed as a decimal (0.13).

Now, calculate the income tax:

\[ \text{Income Tax} = 400 \times 0.13 = 52 \]

So, Al needs to pay $52 in income tax each week.
