Calculation for Job A:

Annual salary = $42100

Standard deduction = $5700

Exemption = $3650

Taxable amount = 42100 - 5700 - 3650 = $32750

32750 belongs to catagory 8350-33950 of the given table.

So the tax will be = 835 + 15% of (32750-8350)

= 835 + 0.15(32750-8350)

= 835 + 0.15(24400)

= 835 + 3660

= 4495

Pay after tax = 42100- 4495 = $37605

Calculation for Job B:

Annual salary = $44400

Standard deduction = $5700

Exemption = $3650

Taxable amount = 44400 - 5700 - 3650 = $35050

32750 belongs to catagory 33950-82250 of the given table.

So the tax will be = 4675 + 25% of (35050-33950)

= 4675 + 0.25(35050-33950)

= 4675 + 0.25(1100)

= 4675 + 275

= 4950

Pay after tax = 44400- 4950 = $39450

Now we can easily find difference between payment of both jobs after tax = 39450-37605= $1845

Hence final answer is $1845.
