1 answer

To find Priya's total income before tax, we can start with the information we have:

  • Amount deducted from the paycheck (tax withheld) = $52.50
  • Income tax rate = 12%

The amount deducted as income tax can be expressed as a percentage of the total income before tax. We can set this up with the following formula:

\[ \text{Tax Withheld} = \text{Total Income Before Tax} \times \text{Tax Rate} \]

We can rearrange this formula to find the Total Income Before Tax:

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

Now, let's plug in the values:

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

Now, calculate the total income before tax:

\[ \text{Total Income Before Tax} = \frac{52.50}{0.12} = 437.50 \]

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