Given that Susie paid $493 as taxes on gross income of $2301.
Let x% be the tax.
Then x% of 2301 is [tex]=2301*\frac{x}{100} = 23.01x[/tex]
But given 23.01x = 493
Divide with 23.01 on both sides to get x.
[tex]x=\frac{493}{23.01} =21.43[/tex]
Hence 21.43% is the tax percentage.
Total amount paid by Susie in taxes = $493
Total gross income of Susie = $2301
Percentage of Susie's gross pay being taken out in taxes is = [tex]\frac{total tax paid}{total gross income} *100[/tex]
it becomes, [tex]\frac{493}{2301} * 100[/tex]
= 21.425%
Hence, Susie paid 21.425% of her gross income in taxes.
