view the attachment to view the 2016 marginal tax rates.

the tax owed is $

  $7271

Step-by-step explanation:

This tax rate table makes computing the tax unnecessarily complicated. For a taxable income amount of $46,000, the tax is computed as ...

  0.25 × the amount over $37,650 + tax on $37650

And the tax on $37650 is computed as ...

  0.15 × the amount of $37650 that is over $9275 + tax on $9275

And the tax on $9275 is computed as ...

  0.10 × $9275 = $927.50

___

Then the tax on $37650 is ...

  0.15 × ($37650 -9275) + 927.50 = $5183.75

And that makes the tax on $46000 be ...

  0.25 × ($46000 -37650) + 5183.75 = $7271.25

This may be the number your computer is looking for.

Further comments on the problem

Some tax tables give a formula specifically geared to the particular income range. Here, that formula might be

It could also be written as ...

it will cost dollar $540

the living room is 3 which means if we divide 325/3 then we get $108

therefore if 1part of the living room cost $108 and 3 costed $325

then total 5part of the room will cost 5*108 which gives $540
