There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, therefore, if the car has a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, that simply means, 60 kilometers per 60 minutes.

now, if the car covers 60 kilometers in 60 minutes, that means in 1 minute, it covers 1 kilometer.

now, if we want to cover every kilometer, not in 1 minute, but half-minute faster than that, that means 1 - 1/2, or 1/2 minute, so, what speed is needed to cover 1 kilometer in just half-minute then?

well, you just need to increase your kilometer per minute from 1 minute, to 1/2, that is , 1 kilometer per 0.5 minutes.

if you can cover 1 kilometer in 0.5 minutes, how many can you cover in 60 minutes or 1 hour?  in 1 minute you can cover  2 kilometers at that speed, in 60 minutes then, you can cover 120 kilometers, twice as many.

120 km/h.

The polynomial 40p + 50f + 90 represents the amount of ink, in milliliters, of printing "p" poster and f flyers in
Troyanec [42]

color : 40p + 50f + 90

b&w : 15p+20f + 45

p = 26

f = 45

[substitute the values given]

color : 40(26) + 50(45) + 90

b&w : 15(26)+20(45) + 45

[solve the equation]

color : 3380

b&w : 1335

[subtract to see how much ink is saved]

3380 - 1335 = <u>2045</u>
