Country X taxes each of its citizens an amount equal to 13 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 option:
A) $54,000 B) $56,000 C) $64,000 D) $66,667 E) $80,000
Equation is correct, so math must be a problem.   0.13*40,000+0.2*(x-40,000)=8,000 --&gt; 5,200+0.2x-8,000=8,000 --&gt; 0.2x=10,800 --&gt; x=54,000.   $54,000nswer: $54,000.
