Answer:

  $4224

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to calculate the tax is using the simplified formula ...

  tax = (income × 0.054) -$96

  tax = $80000 × 0.054 -96 = $4320 -96 = $4224 . . . state tax on $80,000

The tax table computation would be ...

  tax = (first bracket tax) + (second bracket tax) + (third bracket tax)

  tax = 2000 × 0.02 + (9000 -2000) × 0.05 + (80000 -9000) × 0.054

  = 80000 × 0.054 -9000(0.054 -0.05) -2000(0.05 -0.02)

  = 80000 × 0.054 -9000 × 0.004 -2000 × 0.03

  = 80000 × 0.054 - 36 - 60

  = 80000 × 0.054 -96

The process of going through the simplification is only useful if you need to make more than one tax calculation.
