To find out how much Ms. Johnson earned after paying her taxes, we need to calculate the amount of tax she paid and then subtract it from her taxable income.

### Step 1: Calculate the tax paid
Ms. Johnson is in the 24% tax bracket, so she will pay 24% of her taxable income in taxes.

\[
\text{Tax paid} = 72,300 \times 0.24 = 17,352
\]

### Step 2: Subtract the tax from her taxable income
Now, subtract the tax amount from her total income:

\[
\text{After-tax income} = 72,300 - 17,352 = 54,948
\]

Thus, after paying taxes, Ms. Johnson earned **$54,948**.
