Let's break down the problem step-by-step to verify the taxes and determine if the citizens are being taxed at the same rate.
1. Citizen A:
- Income: $35,000
- Tax rate: 11%
- Taxes paid: $3,850
To check the taxes paid, we calculate the tax amount using the income and tax rate:
[tex]\[
\text{Taxes calculated for Citizen A} = \[tex]$35,000 \times 0.11 = \$[/tex]3,850
\][/tex]
The calculated taxes for Citizen A match the taxes paid given in the chart, which is $3,850.
2. Citizen B:
- Income: $72,000
- Tax rate: 11%
- Taxes paid: $7,920
Similarly, we calculate the tax amount for Citizen B:
[tex]\[
\text{Taxes calculated for Citizen B} = \[tex]$72,000 \times 0.11 = \$[/tex]7,920
\][/tex]
The calculated taxes for Citizen B also match the taxes paid given in the chart, which is $7,920.
3. Comparing Tax Rates:
From the provided chart, both Citizen A and Citizen B have a tax rate of 11%. Since both citizens are being taxed at the same rate and the calculated taxes match the provided taxes paid, we can conclude that:
[tex]\[
\boxed{\text{the same rate}}
\][/tex]
Thus, according to the chart, the citizens are being taxed at the same rate.
