Carys is checking her tax bill for the last year .the tax rates were as follows: no tax on the first 11000 of earnings .earnings in excess of 11000 and up to 43000 taxed at a rate of 20%. earnings in excess of 43000 and up to 150000 taxed at a rate of 40%. earnings over 150000 taxed at a rate of 45%. last year carys earned 45600 before tax .how much tax did she pay in total?

$7,440.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the tax rates as follows:

$0-$11,000 = No tax.

$11,000-$43,000 = 20%.

$43,000-$150,000 = 40%.

Earnings over $150,000 = 45%.

Since last year Carys earned $45,600, so we will have to find the tax paid by her for 11,000-43,000 at rate of 20%, then the tax for amount over 43,000 at the rate of 40%.

Therefore, Carys paid an amount of $7,440 in tax.
