X + y = 23000
x.08 + y.09 = 2040
x = 23000 - y
(23000 - y) .08 + y.09 = 2040
1840 - .08y + .09y = 2040
Simplify
.01y = 200
Simplify
Y = 20000
X + 20000 = 23000
X = 3000
CHECK: .08x + .09(20000) = 2040
.08x + 1800 = 2040
Simply .08x = 240
X = 3000
Answer:
0.05?
Step-by-step explanation:
0.2 are taken by oarents
3/4 = 0.75 were taken by parents
0.20 + 0.75 = 0.95
1.00 - 0.95 = 0.05
Second side= x
First side = 2x
Third side = x+5
x+2x+x+5=49
4x=44
x=11
1st side= 22
2nd side = 11
3rd side = 16
Let the walker’s speed be W, then the biker’s is W+1.5W=2.5W. Difference in speed is 1.5W. Distance=speed times time, so 12.5=1.5W×1.5=2.25W, and W=12.5/2.25=1250/225=50/9=5.56 mph. The biker’s speed is 2.5W=125/9=13.89 mph to 2 Dec places.
(Note: “1.5 times faster than a walker’s speed” could not reasonably mean the biker’s speed=1.5W because this would give W=16.67 mph, which is very fast for a runner, let alone a walker (!), and a biker’s speed of 25mph.)
