Income of $40,000paid $ 8,800 in federal income taxes. What fraction shows how much my parents spent on their federal taxes?

Hello,

If you want to find the fraction that was spent on taxes, you should put the amount of taxes over the total amount.

You would have 8800/40000.

This fraction can be reduced to 22/100 or 11/50. It could also be written as 22%.

Best of luck,

MrEQ
