Answer:

They live 285 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total distance be x miles

Sean is driving to visit his friend in another state. In the first hour he travels 1/5 of the total distance. This means that he drove x/5 in the first hour. In the second hour he travels 34 miles. That means

Total distance driven in the first and second hour is

(x/5 + 34)miles

He still has 194 miles more to go.

Therefore,

The total distance is the sum of the distance travelled in the first and second hour + the remaining distance.

x = x/5 + 34 + 194

x = x/5 + 228

Cross multiplying

5x = x + 1140

4x = 1140

x = 1140/4 = 285 miles

the initial price of a home entertainment system is $34,000. It is discounted by 10% and then by a further 26%. Find the price o
maria [59]
The final price of the item is $22,644

The initial discount of 10% leaves the price at 90% of the retail value:
\frac{x}{34000}  =  \frac{90}{100}
cross multiply to solve for x:
100x = 3,060,000
x = 30,600
This new price is then discounted 26%, which means the final price is 74% of $30,600:
\frac{x}{30600}  =  \frac{74}{100}
cross multiply to solve for x:
100x = 2,264,400
x = 22,644
The final price of the home entertainment system is $22,644
