Answer:
The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is 
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the volume of the paper water cup
The volume of the cone is equal to

we have


substitute


step 2
If the cup is filled with water to half its height, find out what portion of the volume of the cup is filled with water
Remember that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube
In this problem the similar cone has half the height of the complete cone
so
The scale factor is equal to 1/2
therefore
The volume of the cup that is filled with water is equal to the volume of the complete cup by the scale factor elevated to the cube

therefore
The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is

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%.
