Answer:

a) 15-t mph;

b) 15+t mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) When the boat travels upstream, the current hinders the boat (the speed of the boat decreases). Thus, the speed of the boat upstream becomes

15-t mph.

b) When the boat travels downstream, the current helps the boat (the speed of the boat increases). Thus, the speed of the boat downstream becomes

15+t mph.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Statement 1 : Gail bought a $45 sweater at 1/3 off.

<u>Discount in Sweater Purchase:</u>

$\frac{1}{3} \; of \; 45 = \frac{1}{3} \times 45 \; = \;\frac{45}{3} =\$15$

Statement 2: Gail can use her 12% employee discount once a week and used her discount on the suit priced at $140.

Discount in Suit Purchase:

$12\% \; of \; 140 =\frac{12}{100} \times 140 = 0.12 \times 140 = \$16.8$

Conclusion:

<u>Discount in Suit Purchase ($16.8) is greater than Discount in Sweater Purchase ($15)</u>
