Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Barry's income

Barry earns $31,000. The tax brackets are $0 - $12,000 (10%), $12,000 - $50,000 (12%). So Barry's tax rate is 12%, not 22%.

Step2: Analyze Marcie's income

Marcie earns $80,000. The tax brackets are $0 - $12,000 (10%), $12,000 - $50,000 (12%), $50,000 - $75,000 (22%), $75,000 - $100,000 (24%). Marcie's income is in the $75,000 - $100,000 bracket, but part of her income (from $50,000 to $75,000) is taxed at 22%.

Step3: Analyze Pablo's income

Pablo earns $72,000. The tax bracket $50,000 - $75,000 has a 22% tax rate. So Pablo's income is within this bracket, so part of his income is taxed at 22%.

Step4: Analyze Nala's income

Nala earns $25,000. The tax bracket $12,000 - $50,000 has a 12% tax rate. So Nala's tax rate is 12%, not 22%.

Answer:

1. Marcie earns $80,000 per year, 3. Pablo earns $72,000 per year
