Answer:

Explanation:

If the worker drove a total of 134 miles on Monday, and received $32.13 for the work-related miles, then we can assume that the work-related miles pay rate is constant, and calculate the total pay for all the miles:

Total pay for all miles = Total miles * Pay rate per mile

Since the worker received $32.13 for the work-related miles, and we assume a constant pay rate, we can find the pay rate per mile:

Pay rate per mile = Total pay for all miles / Total miles

= $32.13 / Total work-related miles

Now we can use this pay rate per mile to calculate the percentage of work-related miles:

Percentage of work-related miles = (Pay for work-related miles / Pay rate per mile) / Total miles * 100

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Percentage of work-related miles = (32.13 / (134 - 32.13)) / (134) * 100

= 0.2874 * 100

= 28.74%

Therefore, approximately 28.74% of the worker's total miles driven on Monday were work-related.
