Answer:

Actual distance from place A to place C

= 9miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that distance between place A and place B = 60 miles.

Distance from place A to place C = 15% of the distance from place A to place B.

To find the actual distance from place A to place C.

Actual distance from place A to place C = 15% of 60miles

Actual distance from place A to place C = 15/100 x 60miles

= 0.15 x 60miles

= 9miles
