Answer:
$1,140
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Set up a fraction and solve (We are doing this to make it simpler to solve. So let us use "x" to represent how much he paid in taxes. )
\(\frac{30}{100}=\frac{x}{3680}\)
Step 2: Solve; Divide the given values (The given values are 100 over 30. We are doing this because we need to know the difference between those two figures.) (Trick: For this case, all you need to do is cancel both zeros and the answer is 0.3 once divided)
\(\frac{30}{100}\)
Cancel both zeros
\(\frac{30}{100}\\\\= \frac{3}{10}\)
Divide
\(\frac{3}{10}\\\\= 3 \div 10\\\\= 0.3\)
Step 3: Multiply the result to the last value (Since we've found the difference between them by division, we will have to do the opposite operation in order to find the answer.)
\(0.3\\\\0.3 \times 3680\\\\=1140\)
Therefore, George paid 1140 dollars in taxes last summer.
