0 percent on the first $10,000, 

10 percent on the next $10,000, 

15 percent on the next $10,000 , 

25 percent bin the next $10,000 , and

50 percent on all additional income.

Here Marcus has earns the total income of $70,000($60,000+$10,000)\$70,000 (\$60,000 + \$10,000) . So tax will be calculated on the total amount of tax.

Taxable salary = $70,000 - (5% of Provisional Income tax) - (15.3% of Labor Income) =$70,000$3500$9,180=$57,320= \$70,000 - \$3500 - \$9,180 = \$57,320

Tax on $57,320=$10,000×0%+$10,000×10%+$10,000×15%+$10,000×25%+$17,320×50%=0+$1,000+$1,500+$2,500+$8,660=$13,660Tax \space on \space \$57,320 = \$10,000 \times 0 \% + \$10,000 \times 10\% + \$10,000 \times 15\% +\$10,000 \times 25\% +\$17,320 \times 50\% = 0 +\$1,000 +\$1,500 + \$2,500 +\$8,660 = \$13,660

Average Rate =$13,660$70,000=17.19%= \frac{\$13,660 }{ \$70,000 }= 17.19\%

So Option no A is correct answer.
