Answer:

1857 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the scale on a map is 1 cm:30 mi. The distance on the map between San Francisco, CA, and Chicago, IL, is 61.9 cm. We are asked to find the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{\text{Map distance}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}

Upon substituting map distance between San Francisco and Chicago, we will get:

\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}

\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}

\text{Actual distance}=30\text{ miles}\cdot 61.9

\text{Actual distance}=1857\text{ miles}

Therefore, the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago is 1857 miles.

The final cost of a sale item is determined by multiplying the price on the tag by 75%.

Let us assume that the final cost of the sale item is V and the price on the tag is given by U.

Then the equation that best describes the function that represents the situation is V = \frac{75U}{100} =\frac{3U}{4}
