Answer:

The least her salary can be $40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Stacey wants her take home pay to be at least = $32,000

She pays income tax = 20%

Se wants that at least 80% salary would be $32,000

Let the total salary of Stacey be x

The equation would be :

80% of x = $32,000

[tex]\frac{80}{100}[/tex] x = 32,000

0.80x = 32,000

x = 32,000 ÷ 0.80 = $40,000

Stacey can earn the least salary $40,000 to take home pay at least $32,000.
