Answer :

To determine the amount of income tax withheld each week for a weekly gross taxable income of \[tex]$1,166 when you have claimed no exemptions, we need to refer to the provided data table. First, locate the values for gross incomes that are closest to \$[/tex]1,166 in the range of the table:
- The closest values are \[tex]$1,160 (with a withheld tax of \$[/tex]340) and \[tex]$1,170 (with a withheld tax of \$[/tex]323).

Next, since \[tex]$1,166 is closer to \$[/tex]1,160 than to \[tex]$1,170, the withheld tax amount should align with the value for \$[/tex]1,160.

Therefore, the amount of income tax withheld each week on a gross taxable income of \[tex]$1,166 is: \[\boxed{340}\] So, the correct answer is: c. \$[/tex]340
