    The couple's child and dependent care credit is;

    a. $910

    Explanation:

    The amount of dependent care credit is calculated based on the amount of expenses the couple spent on childcare. This can be expressed as;

    C=T*E

    where;

    C=Child care credit

    T=tax

    E=childcare expenses

    In our case;

    C=unknown

    T=26%=26/100=0.26

    E=$3,500

    This can be written as;

    Child care credit=tax*child care expenses

    replacing;

    C=0.26*3,500=$910

    The couple's child and dependent care credit=$910
