Answer is B
****************************************
Answer:
The answer to your question is: I bought 7 snacks
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
beginning balance = $42 = b
lunch = $1.80 = l
snack = $ 0.85 = s
final balance = $0.05 = f
f = b - 1.8l - 0.05s
0.05 = 42 - 1.8l - 0.85s
After 20 days I spent = 1.8(20) in lunches = $36
0.05 = 42 - 36 - 0.85s
0.05 = 6 - 0.85s
0.05 - 6 = -0.85s
-5.95 = -0.85s
s = -5.95/-0.85
s = 7
Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:
Tool #1: 37-1/2 percent means 0.375
Tool #2: In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".
====================================
Your question says
"37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".
Translate it with your tools:
0.375 times blank = 36 .
Divide each side by 0.375: Blank = 36 / 0.375 .
Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division). Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.
To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):
Do exactly what the question says.
Multiply (0.375) times (your answer). If you get 36,
then your answer is correct. If not, it's not.
Hey!
Hope this helps...

To solve this, we will be doing a semi-alternate route, but it will get us to our answer...
400 / 100 = 4
30 / 4 = 7.5 seconds
60 * 60 * 7.5 = 27,000 meters per hour
<em></em><em>Lets plug it into our meters to miles formula...</em>
27,000 / 1,609.344 ~ 16.777 miles per hour
So...
The answer is: The Polar Express was going 27,000 meters per hour (or roughly close to 16.777 miles per hour)...
