Total distance John drove=450 miles
total time=8 hours
let the number of hours he drove on highway be x, number of hours he drove on turnpike will be (8-x) hours
since
distance=speed*time
distance traveled in highway=50x
distance traveled in turnpike=60(8-x)
thus the total distance will be:
50x+60(8-x)=450
simplifying the above
50x+480-60x=450
-10x=450-480
-10x=-30
thus
x=3 hours
Thus he drove on highway for 3 hours.

igomit [66]
Use present value equation.
If present value of annuity equals 400,000, then you are indifferent.

PV = A(v + v^2 + ...v^{20}) \\  \\ PV = A\frac{v(1-v^{20})}{1-v}

where v = 1/(1+r) and  A = annual payment = 800,000/20 = 40,000

PV = 400,000
After subbing in the numbers, the equation is:
10 = \frac{v(1-v^{20})}{1-v} \\  \\ 10 - 10v = v - v^{21} \\  \\ v^{21} - 11v+10 = 0 \\  \\ v = 0.928034 \\  \\ \frac{1}{1+r} = 0.928034 \\  \\ r = 0.0775

Therefore at interest rate of about 7.75% you are indifferent.
