30t=50(t-1)
30t=50t-50
30t-50t=-50
-20t=-50
t=-50/-20
t=2.5 hours after the freight train leaves the station they will meet

Answer:

after 2.5 hour passenger train would overtake .

Step-by-step explanation:

A freight  train leaves a station at noon traveling at 30 mph.

A passenger train leaves 1 hour later travelling at 50 mph

Let the time to leave the station of freight train = t

time to leave passenger train = t - 1

Since distance = speed × time

the expression will be :

30t = 50(t - 1)

30t = 50t - 50

30t - 50t = -50

-20t = -50

t = \frac{-50}{-20}

t = 2.5 hours

After 2.5 hours passenger train would overtake the freight train.

You borrow $500 to buy a computer. The simple interest rate is 15%. You pay off the loan after 4 years. How much do you pay for
GREYUIT [131]
Its $800 because to find interest u can use the formula I=PRT p is principal which is 500 times r which is rate-15/100(=15%) times 4

so the interest is 500×15/100×4=300
then u add 300 to 500 because the interest adds more money to the loan

Offer B is the best value for money because each kg cost is £0.61 and in offer 'A' each kg cost is £0.7.

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

Fraction number consists of two parts, one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.

We have:
2 bags for £35

2 bags means 50 kg (2×25)

Each kg cost = 35/50 = £0.7 per kg

3 bags for £92.50

3 bags means 150 kg

Each kg cost = 92.50/150 = £0.61 per kg

As we can see, offer B has a low cost per kg

Thus, offer B is the best value for money because each kg cost is £0.61 and in offer 'A' each kg cost is £0.7.
