Answer:
A percentage by definition means out of a hundred.
Anything out of a percent is anything out of a hundred.
In this case it’s 32 percent.
It’s just 32/100
When simplified you’d get 8/25
Sorry its hard to read and see
Let the distance be x miles
Time = Distance / speed
Time taken by Mike to go to his friend's house = x / 40 hours
Time taken by him to return = x / 45 hours
Total time = x / 40 + x / 45 = 4 hours
= 9x + 8x = 1440 miles
17x = 1440
= x = 1440 ÷ 7
= x = 84.706
Time taken to return home = 84.706 /45= 1.882 hours .
Therefore , Mike took 1.882 hours to reach home .
Subtract 60 on both sides to get -40.
You are left with 40x=-40
Divide both sides by 40 to leave x by itself.
You get x=-1.
