What is your question?
First we should calculate the relation between how much they make and the fuel cost so we write
(1412.42+<span>1187.92)/418.91=6.21
So that means that for every 6.21 dollars made 1 dollar of fuel must be deducted so now we calculate what they need to be deducted by:
Dan deduction = 1412.42/6.21= 227.41
Aaron deduction= 1187.92/6.21 = 191.29</span>

Answer: 98%</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
The customer saves 15%, but still pays the remaining 85%. The two percentages add to 100%.
85% of $900 = 0.85*900 = 765
After the 15% discount is applied, the customer would pay $765
---------
Then after the sale, the price is marked up by 15%
This means we'll multiply by 1.15 to indicate a 15% increase
1.15*765 = 879.75
Notice that we don't get back to the original price (900) even though we increased by the same percentage as before. This is because 15% of a smaller number is a smaller amount; ie we have a smaller increase compared to the decrease earlier.
---------
Afterwards, divide the value 879.75 over the original price of $900
879.75/900 = 0.9775
Move the decimal point two spots to the right to end up with 97.75%
That percentage rounds to 98% when rounding to the nearest whole percent.
