Answer: 460.6 miles South of Chicago
Explanation:
1) <span>The City of New Orleans leaves Union Station in Chicago at 6:00 am and
travels south to New Orleans. The train travels the 930.0 miles to New Orleans at an average speed of 79.0 miles per hour.
Scheme:
→to south ←to north
|----------------------|---------------------|
A x X 930.0 - x B
6:00 am 6:00 am
→ ←
v = 79.0 mi/h v = 81.1 mi/h
=> x = 79.0 mi/h * t
2) at the same time the City of Chicago leaves New Orleans and travels north to Nhicago. The
train travels the 930.0 miles to Chicago at an average speed of 81.1
miles per hour.
930.0 - x = 81.1 mi/h * t
3) How many miles south of chicago do the two trains pass
each other?
Divide the two equations:
930.0 - x 81.1*t
------------- = ----------
x 79*t
t cancels out =>
930.0 - x 81.1
------------- = --------
x 79.0
Solve:
81.1x = 79.0(930.0 - x)
81.1x = 79.0 * 930.0 - 79.0x
81.1x + 79.0x = 73,470
=> 160.1x = 73,470
=> x = 73,470 / 160.1
=> x = 460.6 mi

Answer:
without doing the math, we can affirm that the percent in decrease in the price of the gloves is <u>not</u> the same as the percent increase of the goggles. decreasing $2 from $10 will have a lower decrease than an increase of $2 from $8 since $2 represents a higher portion of $8 compared to $10
