Use the Tax table above the answer the following question.  Find the tax due on a taxable income of $23,111.

To find the tax due on a taxable income of $23,111 using the tax table provided, we'll follow these steps:

1. **Identify the correct tax bracket for $23,111**: 
   - Since $23,111 falls between $15,000 and $30,000, the applicable tax rule is:  
   \[
   \text{Tax due} = \$375 + 6.3\% \text{ of the excess over } \$15,000
   \]

2. **Calculate the excess income over $15,000**:
   \[
   \text{Excess} = 23,111 - 15,000 = 8,111
   \]

3. **Calculate 6.3% of the excess**:
   \[
   \text{6.3\% of } 8,111 = 0.063 \times 8,111 = 511.003
   \]

4. **Add this to the base amount of $375**:
   \[
   \text{Tax due} = 375 + 511.003 = 886.003
   \]

5. **Rounding to the nearest cent** (if necessary):
   \[
   \text{Tax due} = 886.00
   \]

Thus, the tax due on a taxable income of $23,111 is **$886.00**.
