Country X taxes each of its citizens an amount equal to 12 percent of the first $40,000 of income, plus 20 percent of all income in excess of $40,000. If a citizen of Country X is taxed a total of $8,000, what is her income?	Choose the correct choice from the following choices:  A) $40,000  B) $56,000  C) $64,000  D) $66,667  E) $80,000
Equation is correct, so math must be a problem.   0.12*40,000+0.2*(x-40,000)=8,000 --&gt; 4,800+0.2x-8,000=8,000 --&gt; 0.2x=11,200 --&gt; x=56,000.   Answer: $56,000.
