    14379.50

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If I remember correctly, the Medicare tax is taken on Gross Income. The question has already limited the base amount for Social Security.

    Social Security: 118,500 * 6.2/100 = 7347

    Medicare Tax: 485,000*1.45/100 = 7032.50 Add

    Add 14379.50

    Sonny paid 14370 in taxes for these 2 items.
