Respuesta :

Stephanie's marginal tax rate is 15%.

Explanation:

The Average tax rate is 8%

she pays $3.75 as the tax on $25 which makes tax rate at this point                           =3.75/25

= 15%

The Marginal tax rate is the percentage of income that has to be paid as tax as a result of a change in the income bracket.

For instance, if tax rate until $1-$1000 is 10%

and for $1000 and above is 20%.

So for every $ earned over and above $1000.The marginal tax rate for that sum is 20%.
