Two airplanes leave dallas at the same time and fly in opposite directions. One airplane travels 80 miles per hour faster then t

RSB [31]

recall d = rt, distance = rate * time.

let's say airplane A is going at a rate of "r", therefore airplane B is moving faster, at a rate of "r + 80".

now, after 3 hours, both planes have been travelling for 3 hours each, and say if A has covered "d" miles, then B has covered the slack of 2490 - d.

$\bf \leftarrow \underset{A}{\stackrel{r}{\rule[0.22em]{8em}{0.25pt}}}dallas\underset{B}{\stackrel{r+80}{\rule[0.22em]{18em}{0.25pt}}}\to \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ plane~A&d&r&3\\ plane~B&2490-d&r+80&3 \end{array}$

$\bf \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=3r\\ 2490-d=(r+80)(3) \end{cases} \\\\\\ 2490-\boxed{3r}=3r+240\implies 2250=6r\implies \cfrac{2250}{6}=r\implies \stackrel{A}{375}=r \\\\\\ \stackrel{B}{375+80\implies 455}$

Emily meal cost 32.75 and Darren's meal cost 39.88 . Emily treats Darren by paying for both meals,and leaves 14% tip. Find the t

tia_tia [17]

32.75 + 39.88 = 72.63

72.63 x 114% = 72.63 x 1.14 = $82.7982 or $82.80 to the nearest cent.

114% is all of the cost of the meal plus 14 % extra for the tip. See how muliplying by 1.14 includes the $72.63 (this saves the step of adding it on at the end if you were only to find 14% of $72.63)
