Answer:

speed of westbound car= 50 miles/hour

speed of eastbound car = 50 + 4 = 54 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of westbound car = x

According to given scenario, speed of eastbound car will be = x + 4

Now

Distance given = 208 miles

Total time = 2 hours

As both cars pass each other so by using the formula beloe:

Speed of both cars = Distance / Time

x +  (x + 4) = 208 / 2

2x +4 = 104

Subtracting 4 from both sides

2x = 104 - 4

2x = 100

Dividing both sides by 2

x (speed of westbound car)= 50 miles/hour

x + 4 (speed of eastbound car) = 50 + 4 = 54 miles/hour

i hope it will help you!

the grocery store has a special deal on potato chips where if you buy 1 bag you get the second bag for 50% off. if the sales tax
Taya2010 [7]
<span>The price for the three bags of chips is (3 x 2.50) - 2.50/2, because one of the bags will have 50% off. This makes $6.25. Divide this by 100 to find 1%, then multiply by 5 to find 5% — this tells you the amount of sales tax to add on. (6.25/100) x 5 = 0.31 to two decimal places. The final amount for the total purchase is 6.25 + 0.31 = $6.56.</span>

olganol [36]

Answer: $113.55

Step-by-step explanation:

add up the cost of the lesson, boots, board, and ticket

the lesson costs $33.80 and the ticket costs $25, these cover the whole day so no need to be multiplied. the boots cost $2 and the board costs $8.95 each hour, jim will need to pay the cost of both 5 times for 5 hours.

here is the equation to solve

33.80 + 5(8.95 + 2.00) + 25 =

33.80 + 5(10.95) + 25 =

33.80 + 54.75 + 25 =

33.80 + 79.75 = 113.55

the total cost is $113.55
