From the image you uploaded, it seems like the problem is about calculating the income tax for a single male with no dependents using the 2016 marginal tax rates.

### Details from the image:
- **Gross Income:** $90,000
- **Adjustments:** $2,000
- **Deductions:** $28,200 (Mortgage Interest), $4,108 (Property Taxes), $4,000 (Charitable Contributions)
- **Tax Credit:** None

### Step 1: Calculate the taxable income
Taxable income is calculated by subtracting adjustments and deductions from the gross income.

\[
\text{Taxable Income} = \text{Gross Income} - \text{Adjustments} - \text{Deductions}
\]

Here, the deductions are itemized, and the total of those deductions is:

\[
\text{Deductions Total} = 28,200 + 4,108 + 4,000 = 36,308
\]

So, the taxable income becomes:

\[
\text{Taxable Income} = 90,000 - 2,000 - 36,308 = 51,692
\]

### Step 2: Apply 2016 Marginal Tax Rates (for Single)
The 2016 marginal tax rates for a single filer are:
- 10% on income up to $9,275
- 15% on income from $9,276 to $37,650
- 25% on income from $37,651 to $91,150

For the taxable income of $51,692, this would be taxed across three brackets:
1. **10%** of the first **$9,275** = $927.50
2. **15%** of the amount between **$9,276 and $37,650** = $ (37,650 - 9,275) \times 0.15 = 28,375 \times 0.15 = 4,256.25 $
3. **25%** of the amount above **$37,650** = $ (51,692 - 37,650) \times 0.25 = 14,042 \times 0.25 = 3,510.50 $

### Step 3: Total tax owed
Summing up the tax from all brackets:

\[
\text{Total Tax} = 927.50 + 4,256.25 + 3,510.50 = 8,694.25
\]

Thus, the total income tax owed is **$8,694.25**.

It looks like your answer of $10,995 is different from this calculation. This could be due to other factors like standard deductions or a mistake in the brackets.

Would you like to explore this further or ask about the details of the marginal tax rates? 

Here are some related questions:
1. How do marginal tax rates work in general?
2. What is the difference between standard and itemized deductions?
3. How do charitable contributions affect tax calculations?
4. Can tax credits significantly reduce the tax owed compared to deductions?
5. What other types of income adjustments could apply in this case?

**Tip:** Always double-check which deductions apply and whether the standard deduction might be more advantageous.

Use the 2016 marginal tax rates to compute the income tax owed by a single male with no dependents, a gross income of $90,000, and various deductions and adjustments as listed in the problem.
