Answer:

$Second = \$213876$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Highest Winning = $262,743

Second Highest Winning = 81.4012% of the first

Required

Determine the value of the second highest winning

Recall that

$Second\ Highest\ Winning = 81.4012\%\ of\ the\ first$

Substitute $262,743 for the first highest winning

$Second = 81.4012\%\ of\ \$262,743$

$Second = 81.4012\%\ * \$262,743$

$Second = \$213875.954916$

Approximate

$Second = \$213876$

<em>Hence, the second highest winning is approximately $213876</em>
