Sally has gotten her dream job as a lawyer at a top law firm in New York City. If her annual income is $173,755, how much does she have to pay if her income tax rate is 13.25%?

To calculate the amount Sally needs to pay in income taxes, we use the formula:

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

Given:
- Annual Income = $173,755
- Tax Rate = 13.25% = 0.1325

Now, calculate the tax:

\[
\text{Income Tax} = 173,755 \times 0.1325 = 23,020.29
\]

So, Sally has to pay **$23,020.29** in income taxes.
