Kevin runs:

8 miles -- 84 minutes;

6 miles -- x minutes.

Write a proportion:

$\dfrac{8}{6}=\dfrac{84}{x}.$

Then $8\cdox =6\cdot 84,\\ \\x=\dfrac{6\cdot 84}{8}=3\cdot 21=63\ minutes.$

Answer: it takes him 63 minutes to run 6 miles

Rearrange the formula S = a/(a - r) for r.

vesna_86 [32]

S = a / (a - r)...multiply both sides by (a - r)
S(a - r) = a
Sa - Sr = a
Sa - a = Sr
(Sa - a) / S = r or it could be : (aS - a) / S = r

Answer:

$13564

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c}$If taxable&& \\$income&&\\$ is over&$but not over&$the tax is\\---&---&---\\$0 &7,825 &$10\% of the amount over 0\\7,825 &31,850 &$782.50 plus $15\% $ of the amount over 7,825$ \end{array}\right|$ $\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c}31,850 &77,100 &$4,386.25 plus 25\% of the amount over 31,850 \\77,100 &160,850 &$15,698.75 plus 28\% of the amount over 77,100\end{array}\right|$

$\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c}160,850 &349,700 &$39,148.75 plus 33\% of the amount over 160,850 \\349,700 &$no limit&$101,469.25 plus 35\% of the amount over 349,700\end{array}\right|$

Mary’s taxable income= $68,562

From the table, If taxable income is over $31,850 but not over $77,100

The tax = $4386.25 + 25% of the amount over 31,850

Amount over $31,850=$68,562-$31,850

=$36,712

Therefore:

Mary's tax = $4386.25 + (25% of $36,712)

=$4386.25 +9,178

=$13564.25

=$13564 (to the nearest dollar)
