Answer:

The equation that describes the situation is 200 = 4r + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

distance between the two cars = 200 miles

Let the speed of the slower car be r miles/hr

The speed if the faster car = (r + 15) miles/hr

The cars pass each other after 2 hours

Distance = rate * time

200 = (r*2) + (r +15)2

200 = 2r + 2r +30

200 = 4r + 30 (this is the equation that represents the situation)

Collect like terms

200 – 30 = 4r

170 = 4r

Therefore,

r = 170/4

r = 42.5 miles/hr for the slower car

bought bike for 368.9
this was including sales tax of 8.5%
     (percent means part out of 100 so 8.5%=8.5/100=0.85/10=                  0.085/1 1=0.085)
so paid=price+tax
paid=368.9
price=p
tax=p times 8.5%=0.085
368.9=p+p times 0.085

368.9=p+0.085p
or
p+0.085p=368.9
the answer is C
