The total tax that is paid is $13,750.
What is the total tax?
A progressive tax is a tax structure where those who earn higher income are taxed more and those that earn less pay less amount of tax.
Tax paid on the first 15,000 = 10% x 15,000 = 1500
Tax paid on the next $30,000 = 20% x 30,000 = 6,000
Tax paid on the remaining 25,000 (70,000 - 15,000 - 30,000) = 25% x 25,000 = 6250
Total tax paid = 1,500 + 6000 + 6250 = $13,750
