    Family A's marginal tax rate = 40%, average tax rate = 24%

    Family B's marginal tax rate = 20%, average tax rate = 10%

    Explanation:

    Family A's income = $100,000 ⇒ 40%,

    total taxes paid = $0 + $2,000 + $4,000 + $6,000 + $12,000 = $24,000, average tax rate = $24,000 / $100,000 = 24%

    Family B's income = $40,000 ⇒ marginal tax rate is 20%,

    total taxes paid = $0 + $2,000 + $2,000 = $4,000, average tax rate = $4,000 / $40,000 = 10%

    income marginal tax rate

    $0 - $10,000 0%

    $10,001 - $30,000 10%

    $30,001 - $50,000 20%

    $50,001 - $70,000 30%

    Above $70,001 40%
