A sales associate has an annual income of $37,800. The income tax the sales associate has to pay is 12%.

What is the amount of income tax that the sales associate has to pay?

To calculate the income tax the sales associate has to pay, we can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Income Tax} = \text{Annual Income} \times \text{Tax Rate}
\]

Given:
- Annual Income = $37,800
- Tax Rate = 12% = 0.12 (as a decimal)

\[
\text{Income Tax} = 37,800 \times 0.12 = 4,536
\]

Thus, the amount of income tax the sales associate has to pay is **$4,536**.
