Helen Ming receives a travel allowance of $220 each from her company for time away from home. If this allowance in taxable and she has a 10% income tax rate, what amount will she have to pay in taxes for this employee benefit? Initially I thought it was $22, but it says it's wrong.

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, $22 is correct

If Helen Ming receives travel allowance of $220 from her company for time away from home

She has a 10% income tax rate

The amount she has to pay in taxes for the employee benefits is

10% of $220

10/100*$220

=0.1*$220

=$22

So you are correct

The only reason why you could be wrong is if the question is different from what you posted above just like the below question

Helen Ming receives a travel allowance of $220 each week from her company for time away from home. If this allowance is taxable and she has a 15 percent income tax rate, what amount will she have to pay in taxes for this employee benefit?

Here the amount she has to pay for the employee benefits is

15% of $220

15/100*$220

=0.15*$220

=$33
