Answer:

D) $16.34

Explanation:

If there are no subsidies at source, the tax amount will be calculated without deductions. For Luce's income bracket the federal tax rate is $ 86. If the state tax is 19% of the federal tax amount, then the tax will be:

State Tax = 19/100 $ 86

State tax = 0.19 $ 86

State Tax = $ 16.34

Soon, Luce will contribute $ 16.34
