Solve the following problem involving income tax. Show all your work. Priya had $52.50 deducted from their paycheck. If Priya’s income tax rate is 12%, find Priya’s total income before tax. (4 points)
Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's redo the calculations correctly.
Let x be Priya's total income before tax.
The amount deducted from their paycheck is x * 0.12 = $52.50.
To find x, we can divide both sides by 0.12:
x = $52.50 / 0.12
x ≈ $437.50.
Therefore, Priya's total income before tax is approximately $437.50.
Let x be Priya's total income before tax.
The amount deducted from their paycheck is 0.12x = $52.50
Dividing both sides by 0.12, we get x = $52.50 / 0.12 = $437.50
Therefore, Priya's total income before tax is $437.50.

To find Priya's total income before tax, we can divide the amount deducted from her paycheck by her income tax rate and then calculate the total income.
Let's start by finding the total income before tax.
Step 1: Calculate the income tax amount deducted from Priya's paycheck:
Income tax deducted = $52.50
Step 2: Calculate Priya's income tax rate:
Income tax rate = 12% = 0.12 (in decimal form)
Step 3: Calculate the total income before tax using the formula:
Total income before tax = Income tax deducted / Income tax rate
Total income before tax = $52.50 / 0.12
Now let's calculate the total income before tax.
Total income before tax = $437.50
Therefore, Priya's total income before tax is $437.50.
Note: In this calculation, we assumed that the entire amount deducted from Priya's paycheck represents the income tax deduction.
