Question

Using BASH. 

It’s that wonderful joyful time of the year again. That’s right! It’s Tax Time! You have been hired by CIT Taxing & Associates to develop a script that will take in a person's gross income and total taxes paid to Uncle Sam (the federal government) and spit out that person’s tax bracket and total taxes that he/she owes. To complete the script you will need to use an IFstatement as well as follow these guidelines:

● Name The Script: tax_man

● Prompt the user for their GROSS Income

● Prompt the user for total FEDERAL taxes already paid by wage garnishes.

● Using a IF STATEMENT use the following tax information to determine how much the person owes or is

owed

Gross Pay	Tax Rate
$0 - $15,000	0%
$15,001 - $60,000	5%
$60,001 - $85,000	10%
$85,001 - $200,000	20%
$200,001 + (DEFAULT)	25%

● To determine how much is owed to the government (or how much is owed to the user), use the following equation: $ (( ( gross_pay * tax_rate ) - already_paid ))

● Finally, For The Final Tax Bracket ($200,001+), make this theELSE Code Block For The IF Statement

● In order to handle decimals, we need to use the bc command. When making your equation, format your equation as follows: amount=$(echo “scale=2; ($gross_pay *$ tax_rate) - $already_paid” | bc)

# Reading gross pay from user

# Reading federal taxes already paid from user
