Answer :-

Leonardo taxable income - $105,000

Theresa taxable income - $62,000

Together Taxable income of Leonardo and Theresa =. $105,000 + $62,000

Together Taxable income of Leonardo and Theresa = $167,000

Tax rate applicable for the year 2019 for married people filing jointly is $9,086 plus 22% of the amount over $78,950

Total tax = $9,086 + 22% × ( $167,000 - $78,950)

Total tax = $9,086 + $19,371

Total tax = $28,457

Average tax rate = Total tax /Together Taxable income

Average tax rate = $28,457 / $167,000

Average tax rate= 17.04%
