Respuesta :

139.55 is the correct answer

Answer:

$139.56 is deducted  from his gross income for state income tax each pay period .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Grayson lives and works in Indiana, which has a flat state income tax of 3.4%. If his annual salary is $49,255 and he gets paid once a month .

3.4 % is written in the decimal form.

[tex]= \frac{3.4}{100}[/tex]

= 0.034

Income tax price = 0.034 × Annual salary

                            = 0.034 × 49255

                            = $1674.67

As 1 year is consist of 12 months .

Thus

[tex]Income\ tax\ paid\ in\ one\ month = \frac{1674.67}{12}[/tex]

                                                 = $139.56 (Approx)

Therefore $139.56 is deducted  from his gross income for state income tax each pay period .
