    24.89 percent

    Explanation:

    The first $50000 is taxed at 15%;

    The next (75000 - 50000) = $25000 is taxed at 25% and so on.

    then:

    Total taxes

    = (50000*0.15) + (25000*0.25) + (25000*0.34) + (18740*0.39)

    = $29558.60

    Then the average tax rate is given by:

    =Total taxes/Taxable income

    = $29558.60/$118740

    = 24.89%
