Answer 1

To calculate the taxes for a single person earning $33,200 using the provided tax schedule, we see that $33,200 falls within the range of $28,400 to $68,799.99.

According to the tax bracket for this earnings range:

• The formula is \(0.25E - 3,190\).

Now, plug in the earnings \(E = 33,200\):

1. Calculate \(0.25 \times 33,200\): \[ 0.25 \times 33,200 = 8,300 \]

2. Then, subtract 3,190: \[ 8,300 - 3,190 = 5,110 \]

Therefore, the taxes due for a single person earning $33,200 will be $5,110.
