Step1: Find the amount over $82,500

Lavonne's income is $125,000. The amount over $82,500 is $125,000 - $82,500 = $42,500.

Step2: Calculate 22% of the amount over

22% of $42,500 is 0.22 * $42,500 = $9,350.

Step3: Add the base tax

The base tax is $14,089.00. So total tax is $14,089 + $9,350 = $23,439.
