Answer:

The scale of the map is 1 inch is <u>15 miles.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance of neighboring towns on map = 2.4 inches

Actual Distance of neighboring towns = 36 miles.

We need to find the scale of map;

Solution:

Now we know that;

On map 2.4 inches = 36 miles actual distance.

So on map 1 inch = Actual distance in 1 inch of scaling on map.

By using Unitary method we get;

Actual distance in 1 inch of scaling on map = \frac{36}{2.4} =15\ miles

Hence The scale of the map is 1 inch is <u>15 miles.</u>

Pension = 12% of salary
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Salary = $43,313.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his salary be x.

Now we're told that;

Pension = 12% of his salary = 0.12x

Health Insurance = 0.3% of salary = 0.003x

Disability Insurance = 0.4% of salary = 0.004x

Since his total contract with benefits is worth $48,814.20

This means that;

x + 0.12x + 0.003x + 0.004x = 48814.2

1.127x = 48814.2

x = 48814.2/1.127

x = $43,313.40
