解答：

缴纳联邦税后，Public 先生保留遗产的 $80\%$ 。

他为这部分缴纳 $10\%$ 的州税，也就是遗产的 $8\%$ 。

总税额是遗产的 $20\%+8\%=28\%$ ，所以遗产为 $\$10{,}500/0.28=\$37{,}500$ 。

因此，正确答案是 D。

After federal taxes, Mr. Public keeps $80\%$ of his inheritance.

He pays $10\%$ of that in state taxes, which is $8\%$ of the inheritance.

His total tax is $20\%+8\%=28\%$ of the inheritance, so the inheritance is $\$10{,}500/0.28=\$37{,}500.$

Thus, the correct answer is D.
