Sure, let's break it down step by step according to the chart provided:
1. Citizen A:
- Income: \[tex]$35,000
- Tax rate: 11%
- Taxes paid: To find out how much taxes Citizen A paid, you can multiply the income by the tax rate.
\( \text{Taxes paid by Citizen A} = 35,000 \times 0.11 = 3,850 \)
So, Citizen A pays \$[/tex]3,850 in taxes.
2. Citizen B:
- Income: \[tex]$72,000
- Tax rate: 11%
- Taxes paid: Similarly, to determine how much taxes Citizen B paid, multiply the income by the tax rate.
\( \text{Taxes paid by Citizen B} = 72,000 \times 0.11 = 7,920 \)
Thus, Citizen B pays \$[/tex]7,920 in taxes.
According to the chart, both Citizen A and Citizen B are being taxed at the same rate of 11%, and their taxes paid are \[tex]$3,850 and \$[/tex]7,920 respectively.
