Answer: 54.4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the distance to the train station. If it took Carlos 4 hours to come back driving at 68 mph, the distance is:
= Speed * time
= 68 * 4
= 272 miles
This means that Carlos drove for 5 hours to cover 272 miles the first time. His average speed was therefore:
= Distance / time
= 272/5
= 54.4 mph
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%.
