A car trip from New York to Cincinnati took 12.5 hours. The return trip by the same route took 1 hour longer.

Let x be the speed of the car

Car trip from New York to Cincinnati

We know Distance D = speed * time

time = 12.5 hours and speed =x

D = 12.5x

Return trip

The return trip by the same route took 1 hour longer. So 12.5+1 = 13.5 hours

he average rate of speed was 4 mph less. So speed is x-4

Distance D = speed * time

time = 13.5 hours and speed =x-4

D = (x-4)*13.5

D= 13.5x-54

The distance of ongoing trip and return trip are same

So we equate both the distance equations D= 13.5x-54  and D= 12.5x

12.5x = 13.5x-54    

Subtract  13.5 on both sides

-1x = -54

x=54

speed of ongoing trip = 54 miles per hour

Distance D = 12.5x = 12.5 * 54=675 miles

The length of the route = 675 miles

Irina-Kira [14]

$ 2772 is paid in state income tax

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

Given that, Tina lives in a state that charges her 4.5% state income tax on her federal taxable income

Federal taxable income = $61,600

<em><u>To find: Amount paid by Tina in state income tax</u></em>

Tax rate = 4.5 %

<em><u>Which means, 4.5 % of $61,600 is paid as tax</u></em>

Tax\ Rate = 4.5 \% \text{ of } 61600

Here, "of" means multiplication or product

Tax\ Rate = 4.5 \% \times 61600\\\\Tax\ Rate = \frac{4.5}{100} \times 61600\\\\Tax\ Rate = 0.045 \times 61600\\\\Tax\ Rate = 2772

Thus $ 2772 is paid in state income tax
