Answer:

Explanation:

The 15% of 126 is 18.96 thus, my family travels 18.96 miles over the bridge.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is defined as a given amount in every hundred. It is a fraction with 100 as the denominator percentage is represented by the one symbol %.

The percentage is also called the indicating hundredths. Thus, 2% is two-hundredth, which means 2%=2/100=0.02.

As per the given,

Total travel = 126

Percentage travel over the bridges = 15% of 126

15% of 126 = (15/100)126 = 18.96 miles

Hence "The 15% of 126 is 18.96 thus, my family travels 18.96 miles over the bridge".
