Question 193987: Myron was arrested three times in 2007 for not paying his tution at Kaplan University. He was held in the county jail 23 days, 41 days, and 15 days respestively. We shall assume that 2007 was not a leap year, therefore 365 days were available for myron to be free. His mother lamented the fact that Myron spent so much time in jail that year, and told her friend Bertah that he had been in prison for a certain percentage of 2007. Can you help Myrons mom. What pertanage did Myron spend in jail in 2007?
