The speed of the current in a river is 6 miles per hour

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Speed of boat in still water = 20 miles per hour

Time taken = 3 hours

Distance downstream = 78 miles

To find: Speed of current

<em><u>If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then:  </u></em>

Speed downstream = (u + v) km/hr

Speed upstream = (u - v) km/hr

<em><u>Therefore, speed downstream is given as:</u></em>

\text{ speed downstream } = \frac{distance}{time} = \frac{78}{3}\\\\\text{ speed downstream } = 26 \text{ miles per hour }

We know that,

Speed downstream = (u + v)

26 = 20 + v

v = 26 - 20

v = 6 miles per hour

Thus speed of the current in a river is 6 miles per hour

Elena went to a sporting goods store that was having a sale. She bought a tennis ball and 3 cans of tenis balls The tennis racke
Kazeer [188]

Answer: She will pay $52.68, including taxes

Step-by-step explanation: One can of tennis ball is $4 and there are no discount on it. Elena bought 3 cans, so:

can = 3 x 4 = 12

One tennis racket is $43 but it has a discount of 15%:

discount = 0.15 x 43 = 6.45

total racket = 43 - 6.45 = 36.55

Elena will have to pay:

pay = 12 + 36.55 = 48.55

She will also have to pay taxes, which are 8.5% over the price she paid:

pay + tax = 48.55 x 0.085 = 4.13

total to pay = 48.55 + 4.13 = 52.68

Buying 3 can of tennins ball and one racket, Elena paid $52.68, including taxes.
