$1755.68.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a high school student working part-time as a cook had a gross income of $7650 last year. His federal tax rate was 10% and his state rate was 5.3%.

First of all let us find 15.3% of $7650 as the base amount of federal and state tax is same, so we can add both tax rates.

Since we know that current tax rate for social security is 6.2% the current rate for Medicare is 1.45%. So let us find 7.65% (6.2%+1.45%) of $7650.

Now let us add amount of federal and state tax with FICA.

Therefore, the the amount withheld from his pay last year in federal tax state tax and FICA combined was $1755.68.

Amount withheld from his pay last year in federal tax, state tax and FICA combined was $1755.68.

Step-by-step explanation:

Student's gross income = $7650.00

federal tax rate = 10% of $7650

= 0.10 × 7650 = $765.00

State tax rate = 5% of $7650

= 0.053 × 7650 = $405.45

As we know FICA is comprised of taxes for social security (6.2%) and medicare (1.45%)

Let us find FICA tax 7.65% (6.2% + 1.45%)

= 7.65% of 7650 =  0.0765 × 7650 = $585.225

Let us add all the taxes

Total tax = 765 + 405.45 + 585.225 = $1755.675 rounded to $1755.68

Amount withheld from his pay last year in federal tax, state tax and FICA combined was $1755.68
