Let <em>a</em> denote the airplane's speed in still air, and <em>w</em> the windspeed.

When the plane flies against the wind, it can travel an average speed of

(4500 km) / (6 h) = 750 km/h

so that

<em>a</em> - <em>w</em> = 750 km/h

Flying with the wind, it moves at a speed of

(2910 km) / (3 h) = 970 km/h

so that

<em>a</em> + <em>w</em> = 970 km/h

Add the two equations to eliminate <em>w</em> and solve for <em>a</em> :

(<em>a</em> - <em>w</em>) + (<em>a</em> + <em>w</em>) = 750 km/h + 970 km/h

2<em>a</em> = 1720 km/h

<em>a</em> = 860 km/h

Subtract them to eliminate <em>a</em> and solve for <em>w</em> :

(<em>a</em> - <em>w</em>) - (<em>a</em> + <em>w</em>) = 750 km/h - 970 km/h

-2<em>w</em> = -220 km/h

<em>w</em> = 110 km/h

An online retailer sells two packages of protein bars.
krok68 [10]
In order to find the price per bar, we divide the price by the amount of bars.  For the first one:

15.37/10 = $1.54 per bar

The second package:

15.35/12 = $1.28 per bar.

The 10-pack costs $1.54 per bar and the 12-pack costs $1.28 per bar.  The 12-pack has the better price per bar.

Now, let's look at the price per ounce.  We do this in a similar way.  We find the total amount of ounces in the package, and divide the price by the number of ounces.

In the first package, we multiply 10*2.1=21.  We have 21 ounces in the first package.  Now we divide 15.37/21.  In the first package, we have 0.73 dollars per ounce.

Now, let's look at the second package.  We start by multiplying 1.4*12=16.8.  There are 16.8 ounces in the package.  Now, we divide 15.35/16.8=0.91.  So, in the second package, we have 0.91 dollars per ounce.

The cost per ounce of the 10-pack is $0.73 and the cost per ounce of the 12-pack is $0.91.  The first package has the better price per ounce.

The better explanation is the second one, because I prefer the lower price per ounce, I think that the 1st pack is the better buy.

A chocolate manufacturer sells a 320g ar of chocolate for 50p. The size of the bar is reduced by 20%, and the price to 42p.
Contact [7]

Answer:

  less value

Step-by-step explanation:

To deterimine if value was improved or not, we need to compare the price reduction to the size reduction.

__

The reduction in price is ...

  ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

  = (42/50 -1) × 100% = -16%

The size reduction of 20% is more than the price reduction of 16%, so the chocolate bar is <em>less value</em>.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Compared to the original value, the new price to chocolate ratio is ...

  0.84/0.80 = 1.05

Effectively, the price was raised by 5%.
