Using proportions, it is found that his tax rate is of 28.84%.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.

His tax rate is the proportion that the <u>deductions are of the total salary</u>, hence:

12,200/42,300 = 0.2884 = 28.84%.

Hence his tax rate is of 28.84%.

Answer:

Leg\ 1 = 8

Leg\ 2 = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: See Attachment

Required

Determine the length of the legs

To do this, we apply Pythagoras theorem.

Hyp^2 = Adj^2 + Opp^2

In this case:

17^2 = x^2 + (2x- 1)^2

Open Bracket

17^2 = x^2 + 4x^2- 2x-2x + 1

17^2 = 5x^2 - 4x + 1

289= 5x^2 - 4x + 1

Collect Like Terms

5x^2 - 4x + 1 - 289 = 0

5x^2 - 4x - 288 = 0

Solving using quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

So:

x = 8 or x = -7.2

Since, x can't be negative, then:

x = 8

One of the leg is:

Leg\ 1 = x

Leg\ 1 = 8

Leg\ 2 = 2x - 1

Leg\ 2 = 2*8 - 1

Leg\ 2 = 16 - 1

Leg\ 2 = 15

If 1 van can seal 18 students...

116 ÷ 18 = 6.4

Is 68 prime because i am doing homework and im stuck on this and it is very hard so help me please
BlackZzzverrR [31]

If  68  is a prime number, then the only factors it has are  1  and  68.
If it has any other factors besides  1  and  68, then it's NOT prime.

Right away, without any higher math, you can look at just the last digit
in 68 .  The last digit is '8'.  That tells you that '68' is an even number,
and THAT tells you that '2' must be one of its factors.  So '68' is not a
prime number.

The factors of  68  are  1,  2,  4,  17,  34, and  68 .    

68  has four more factors besides  1  and  68, so it's not a prime number.
