To analyze the taxation of the citizens based on the given chart, follow these steps:

1. Identify the income and tax rate for each citizen:
- Citizen A: [tex]\(\$35,000\)[/tex] income, [tex]\(11\%\)[/tex] tax rate.
- Citizen B: [tex]\(\$72,000\)[/tex] income, [tex]\(11\%\)[/tex] tax rate.

2. Calculate the expected taxes for each citizen using the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Taxes Paid} = \text{Income} \times \text{Tax Rate} \][/tex]

3. Perform the calculations for Citizen A:
[tex]\[ \text{Taxes Paid}_A = \$35,000 \times 0.11 = \$3,850 \][/tex]

4. Perform the calculations for Citizen B:
[tex]\[ \text{Taxes Paid}_B = \$72,000 \times 0.11 = \$7,920 \][/tex]

5. Compare the calculated taxes with the given taxes:
- For Citizen A: The calculated taxes (\[tex]$3,850) match the given taxes (\$[/tex]3,850).
- For Citizen B: The calculated taxes (\[tex]$7,920) match the given taxes (\$[/tex]7,920).

The calculations confirm that both citizens A and B are correctly taxed according to the chart. Therefore, based on the detailed comparison and calculations, we can conclude that the citizens are being taxed accurately, with an 11% tax rate applied to their respective incomes.
