Solution

To find the effective tax rate, you divide the total tax paid by the total income and then multiply by 100 to get a percentage.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. Theresa paid $5,000 in taxes.
  2. Her taxable income was $50,000.
  3. Divide the amount of tax paid by the taxable income: 5,000/5,000 / 50,000 = 0.1
  4. Multiply by 100 to get a percentage: 0.1 * 100 = 10%

So, Theresa's effective tax rate was 10%.
