Answer:
24.89 percent
Explanation:
The first $50000 is taxed at 15%;
The next (75000 - 50000) = $25000 is taxed at 25% and so on.
then:
Total taxes
= (50000*0.15) + (25000*0.25) + (25000*0.34) +(18740*0.39)
= $29558.60
Then the average tax rate is given by:
=Total taxes/Taxable income
= $29558.60/$118740
= 24.89%
