Answer 3

she made $21,000 which I'm assuming is all taxable income. However, you take $3,000 away because that is the tax deductible retirement contribution she made.

Her taxable income is now 21000 - 3000 = 18000 dollars

x = 18,000

on the second one between 10,000 and 20,000

yes

Answer 8

so it will be 0.09(18000)?
