Answer:

$3100

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

If you earned upto $113,700 in 2013 from an employer then your security tax=6.2% of income

If you earned over $113,700 then, you paid amount of tax=$7049.40

We have to find the social security tax when you would made $50000.

Let x be the income and f(x) be the amount of tax.

[tex]f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.062x&,if\ \ 0<x\leq113700 \\ 7&,if\ \ 113700<x\end{matrix}\right.[/tex]

Substitute the values then we get

[tex]f(50000)=0.062 (50000)=[/tex]$3100

When the income of someone is $50000 then you  paid  the security tax $3100.
