Mark lives in a state that charges him 6.1% income tax on his federal taxable income. If his federal taxable income is $79,400, how much does Mark pay in state income tax?

Convert 6.1% to a decimal: 0.061. Multiply Mark’s federal taxable income by the tax rate: $79,400 × 0.061 = $4,843.40, so the state income tax is $4,843.40.
