To determine the amount of state tax Selina owes, we will follow these steps:

1. Identify Selina's federal tax contribution:
We need to locate her gross pay in the federal tax table provided.
- Selina's gross pay for two weeks is \[tex]$840. - According to the federal tax table, for wages between \$[/tex]840 and \[tex]$860 with 0 withholdings (because she claims one exemption), the federal tax withheld is \$[/tex]98.

2. Calculate the state tax rate:
Selina's state tax deduction is provided as [tex]\(21 \%\)[/tex] of her federal tax contribution.

3. Compute the state tax owed:
[tex]\[ \text{State Tax Owed} = \text{Federal Tax Withheld} \times \text{State Tax Rate} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{State Tax Owed} = \$98 \times 0.21 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{State Tax Owed} = \$20.58 \][/tex]

Thus, Selina owes \[tex]$20.58 in state taxes. Given the provided options: a. \$[/tex]16.17
b. \[tex]$16.80 c. \$[/tex]32.34
d. \[tex]$33.60 None of these options are correct, given that the correct answer based on the provided calculations is \( \boxed{\$[/tex]20.58} \).
