20,710.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Look at the table and see what category she falls in (the 4th column).

2.) Subtract 95,000-77,100 because she’s paying 28% of the amount that’s over the 77,100. That’s 17,900.

3.) Now multiply that by .28 or 28% and it will be 5,012.

4.) add 5,012 to the base amount of 15,698.75 that she has to pay.

5.) Thats 20,710.75

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
