US Airways has a net income of $60,000 before taxes. It's expected that 45% of the net income will go federal and state taxes. How much will US Airways have left?

Answered by Maria Taylor
Ms. Sue, How did you get .55?
Answered by Ms. Sue
45% = 0.45

1.00 - 0.45 = 0.55

Thanks Ms. Sue, this is how I had did it at first which is the same answer but a different step, but you should me there is more than one way.

$60,00 x .45 = 27,000
60,000 - 27,000 = $33,000
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes, that's another way to do it.
