Answer:

  5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, Jaime's taxable income is ...

  income - (married allowance) - 2 × (dependent allowance)

  = $58,980 -4,000 -2×2,000 = $50,980

The percentage that Jaime pays in taxes is ...

  tax rate = (tax amount)/(taxed amount)

  = $2,549/$50,980 × 100% = 5%

The state income tax rate is 5%.
