Hello,
So we have a fixed value which is 4,386.
We have in addition a tax of 24% which is in excess of 31 850. So it would be written as follows: 24 % ( x - 31850).
Since we know already that his wage is 42,000 we simply replace x.
So tax formula would be as follows:
Total tax = 4386 + 0,24 % (42000 - 31850)
Totam tax = 4386 + 0,24% (10150)
Totam tax = 4386 + 2436
