The chart shows how two people with different incomes are taxed.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}
\hline
& \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Income} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Tax rate} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Taxes paid} \\
\hline
Citizen A & \[tex]$35,000 & 11\% & \$[/tex]3,850 \\
\hline
Citizen B & \[tex]$72,000 & 11\% & \$[/tex]7,920 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

According to the chart, the citizens are being taxed at a flat rate.



Answer :

Sure, let's break it down step by step according to the chart provided:

1. Citizen A:
- Income: \[tex]$35,000 - Tax rate: 11% - Taxes paid: To find out how much taxes Citizen A paid, you can multiply the income by the tax rate. \( \text{Taxes paid by Citizen A} = 35,000 \times 0.11 = 3,850 \) So, Citizen A pays \$[/tex]3,850 in taxes.

2. Citizen B:
- Income: \[tex]$72,000 - Tax rate: 11% - Taxes paid: Similarly, to determine how much taxes Citizen B paid, multiply the income by the tax rate. \( \text{Taxes paid by Citizen B} = 72,000 \times 0.11 = 7,920 \) Thus, Citizen B pays \$[/tex]7,920 in taxes.

According to the chart, both Citizen A and Citizen B are being taxed at the same rate of 11%, and their taxes paid are \[tex]$3,850 and \$[/tex]7,920 respectively.
