Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


For the statement to be true, 'a' and 'b' must be equal
*First expand the binomial using FOIL, then set it equal to whats given "2abi".
Then you can find the relationship between a and b.
so to find 15% of 54,237, we use this equation: (x/54237) = (15/100) where x is the amount of income tax.
cross multiply: 100x = 813555
divide each side by 100 to isolate x: 8135.55
the truck driver will pay $8135.55
I think that is is 8.3, but I could be incorrect!
