A television used to cost $9,000 and today it costs
$500 less, what is the percentage of
discount?
Percentage discount: 5 5/9 percent
S1 = speed of boat 1
<span> t1 = time to do 1400 meters (boat 1) </span>
S1*t1 = 1400
<span><span>S2 </span>= speed of boat 2 </span>
1400 + S2*t1 = X
t2 = time to do X + 600 (boat 2)
S1*t2 = X + 600
S2*t2 = 2X - 600
S1 = 1400/t1
S2 = (X-1400)/t1
<span>T = t2/t1 </span>
1400*T = X + 600
X*T - 1400*T = 2X - 600
X = 3600 meters
<span> River is 3600 meters wide</span>
The exact for is 53/12
Decimal form is 4.416
Mixed number 4 5/12
I hope I helped
