To calculate the average tax rate, you first need to calculate the total tax paid.

1. Calculate the tax for the income up to $17,000: This is subject to a 10$17,000 * 10% = $1,700.

2. Calculate the tax for the income above $17,000: This is subject to a 15$17,000 is $65,000 -$17,000 = $48,000. So, the tax paid on this portion of the income is$48,000 * 15% = $7,200.

3. Add the tax paid on both portions of the income to get the total tax paid: $1,700 +$7,200 = $8,900.

4. Finally, calculate the average tax rate by dividing the total tax paid by the total income, and then multiply by 100 to get a percentage: ($8,900 /$65,000) * 100 = 13.69%.

So, the average tax rate is 13.69%.
