In 2009, the maximum taxable income for social security was $102,000 and the rate was 6.2%. the rate for medicare tax was 1.45%. if jessica's taxable income was $152,000 that year, how much did she pay in fica taxes?

$5304

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the rate for medicare tax at that year was 1.45%, then Jessica's medicare tax amount 'x' should be:

x = $1479

And since, the rate for security tax at that year was 6.2%, then Jessica's medicare tax amount 'y' should be:

y = $3100

Hence, she paid total $3100 + $2204 = $5304 in FICA taxes.

17   x 256=4352
