95x=85x+288
You could add 288 to any side, it just shows that they're 288 miles apart.
Let's subtract 85x from both sides.
10x=288
28.8=x
It'll take 28.8 hours for the trains to meet. Let's make sure.
28.8×95
2,736
28.8×85
2,448
2,736-2,448
288
So, they'll meet up after 28.8 miles.

Area of the cookie =Pi r^2

Pi = 3.14

Diameter = 2inches

\frac{21}{0.35} =60

Case 2

\frac{54}{0.9} =60

Now the 55% of this number is:
