Use the table to answer the question. https://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1475000_1475500/1475449/2/c2395938beff59ff7c34f565e4577e730b5ae7c9/TXMTH07-140123-120105.jpg

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Which row of the table contains Terry's income?

OpenStudy (dnsjfnjdnsjnf):

the one to the far left?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you know the difference between rows and columns?

OpenStudy (dnsjfnjdnsjnf):

oh yes

OpenStudy (dnsjfnjdnsjnf):

would it be the 4th one down in the far left column

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Note that the table says if the income is between $3523 and $7254 the tax owed is $699.65 plus 28% of the amount over $3523.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you understand that the table says that?

OpenStudy (dnsjfnjdnsjnf):

yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Is Terry' income more than $3523?

OpenStudy (dnsjfnjdnsjnf):

yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

How much more?

OpenStudy (dnsjfnjdnsjnf):

291

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So than Terry owes $699.65 + 28% of 291

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Can you calculate that?

OpenStudy (dnsjfnjdnsjnf):

is it 781.13?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That's what I got.

OpenStudy (dnsjfnjdnsjnf):

ok thank you
