George has to pay $30 in taxes for every $100 that he earns. last summer he earned $3,680.how much did he pay in taxes.

$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. )

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)

Cancel both zeros

Divide

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.)

Therefore, George paid 1140 dollars in taxes last summer.
