Answer:

  $3,144

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on your tax table, the tax on an amount x over 9000 will be ...

  t(x) = 0.054(x -9000) +0.05(9000 -2000) +0.02(2000)

  = 0.054x -9000(0.054 -0.05) -2000(0.05 -0.02)

  = 0.054x -36 -60

  = 0.054x -96

Then the tax on 60,000 will be

  t(60000) = 0.054(60000) -96 = 3240 -96 = 3144

The state income tax owed on $60,000 is $3,144.
