Selina claims single having one exemption. her state tax deduction is 21% of her federal tax contribution. calculate the amount of state tax selina owes if her gross pay for two weeks is $840.

I have attached federal tax table is for biweekly earnings of a single person.

state tax Selena owes = $16.8

Explanation:

1- getting the Federal tax:

We are given that:

her biweekly salary = $840

her claimed allowance = 1 exemption

Using the attached table, we can deduce that:

federal tax = $80

2- getting the state tax:

We know that the state tax is 21% of the federal tax.

This means that:

state tax = 21% * federal tax

state tax = 0.21 * 80

state tax = $16.8

Hope this helps :)
