Answer: $960
Explanation:
Mona Elliott’s gross pay = $33,500
State income tax rate = 3%
Single exemption = $1500
The amount that'll be withheld a year for state income tax will be calculated as:
= Tax rate × (Gross pay - Single exemption)
= 3% × ($33500 - $1500)
= 3% × ($32,000)
= 3/100 × $32,000
= 0.03 × $32,000
= $960
