federal taxes, $18,380
medical care, $6,652
food, $4,880
housing and household, $15,000
state taxes, $3,448

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total income

Sum all budget amounts: \(18380 + 3448 + 15000 + 4880 + 6652 + 4332 + 3500 + 3260 + 1750\)
\(= 18380+3448 = 21828\); \(21828+15000 = 36828\); \(36828+4880 = 41708\); \(41708+6652 = 48360\); \(48360+4332 = 52692\); \(52692+3500 = 56192\); \(56192+3260 = 59452\); \(59452+1750 = 61202\)

Step2: Calculate total tax (federal + state)

\(18380 + 3448 = 21828\)

Step3: Calculate tax percentage

\(\frac{21828}{61202} \approx 0.3567\), so approximately \(35.7\%\) (or rounded to reasonable percent like 36% or 35%).

Answer:

Approximately \(36\%\) (or \(35\%-37\%\) range, exact calculation gives ~35.7%)
