Not sure.  What's the tax rate or schedule?

anonymous · Answer

Her annual gross income is 2158.22∗12=25898.64. So, you need to calculate 7.65% of that. Therefore, the answer is:
25898.647.65100=$1981.24596

Which is D

Not sure what number I was using, before.  Let's try this.

2158.22*12 = 25898.64

1335.16/25898.64 = 0.05155
1723.09/25898.64 = 0.06653
1921.15/25898.64 = 0.07418
1981.25/25898.64 = 0.07650

Well, then there you go.
