Answer 1

To determine Elaine's income tax withholding, we need to find her earnings range and the corresponding withholding amount based on the number of claimed exemptions.

Elaine makes $520 per week. According to the provided table:

• The earnings are in the range of $500 to $600.
• She has 4 exemptions.

Now, we can look at the relevant part of the table for her earnings:

$500 - $600 (5 exemptions)
    15    5   3   3   2   1

• For someone earning between $500 and $600 and claiming 4 exemptions, the withholding amount is $2.00.

Thus, Elaine's income tax withholding will be $2.00.
