Answer:
john drove for 3 hours at a rate of 50 miles per hour and for 2 hours at 60 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
so to find 15% of 54,237, we use this equation: (x/54237) = (15/100) where x is the amount of income tax.
cross multiply: 100x = 813555
divide each side by 100 to isolate x: 8135.55
the truck driver will pay $8135.55
Percentage means 'out of 100 100 '. Convert the decimal number to a fraction by shifting the decimal point in both the numerator and denominator. Since there is 1 1 number to the right of the decimal point, move the decimal point 1 1 place to the right.
