There are a number of possible combinations for this open-ended question, so here's an example question and answer, in which the two are non-related:
James' car is going at 45 miles per hour, and that is 42% of his maximum speed. How much slower does James have to go to be 27% of his maximum speed?
Amy's car used to be able to go at 45 miles per hour as 42% of her maximum speed, but due to the new upgrade, 45 miles per hour is now only 27% of her maximum speed.
Answer: Original price = $43.10, Increase = $19.40, Final price = $62.50
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the original price, then
8x(1.45) < $500

x < $43.10
Increase is 0.45x
0.45($43.10)
= $19.40
Final price is Original + Increase
$43.10 + $19.40
= $62.50
