Answer: the trip (one-way) that Alan made on Saturday was 63 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the trip that Alan made on Saturday.

Let t represent the time that it took Alan to make the trip on Saturday.

On Saturday, Alan traveled North along minor roads averaging 36 mph to visit a friend.

Distance = speed × time.

Therefore, distance travelled on Saturday would be

x = 36 × t = 36t

On Sunday, he traveled East along main roads averaging 60 mph to visit his mother. The trip to visit his mother was 24 miles longer and took 18 minutes(18/60 = 0.3 hours) less. This means that the distance travelled would be

x + 24 and the time spent would be t - 0.3 hours.

Distance travelled on Sunday would be

x + 24 = 60(t - 0.3)

x + 24 = 60t - 18 - - - - - - -- - - 1

Substituting x = 36t into equation 1, it becomes

36t + 24 = 60t - 18

60t - 36t = 24 + 18

24t = 42

t = 42/24 = 1.75

x = 36t = 36 × 1.75

x = 63 miles

9) Gabe has a 40¢-off coupon for any kind of popcorn. He can choose
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Per ounce better buy is <em>Happy popcorn</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Happy popcorn price for 16 ounces = $1.39

Popper popcorn price for 34 ounces = $2.79

Discount coupon present with Gabe = 40 ¢ = $0.40

To find:

Which brand is the better buy per ounce?

Solution:

First of all, let us calculate the price that Gabe has to pay after the discount coupon being applied.

Price for 16 ounces of Happy popcorn after discount = $1.29 - $0.40 = $0.99

Price for 1 ounce of Happy popcorn after discount = \frac{\$0.99}{16} = $0.062

Price for 34 ounces of Popper popcorn after discount = $2.79 - $0.40 = $2.39

Price for 1 ounce of Popper popcorn after discount = \frac{\$2.39}{34} = $0.070

Clearly, per ounce price of Happy popcorn is lesser than that of Popper popcorn.

Therefore per ounce better buy is <em>Happy popcorn</em>.
