Explanation / Answer

separetly
Gabriella = 8925 * 0.10 + 0.15 (36250 - 8925) + 0.25 (48800 - 36250)
= 8128.75
Steve = 8925 * 0.10 + 0.15 (36250 - 33000)
= 1380

total tax as seperate = 8128.75+ 1380 = 9508.75


total income of couple = 48800 + 33000 = 81800

tax as couple
8925 * 0.10 + 0.15 (36250 - 8925) + 0.25 (81800- 36250)
= 16378.75

tax owed by the couple
16378.75 - 9508.75 = 6870
