Three hours after the bus starts out, it's 150 miles ahead of the truck. Then the truck starts out, and it gains (65-50)=15 miles on the bus every hour. If neither of them ever stops for anything, the truck will catch up to the bus in ( 150/15 ) = 10 hours. . . . (The hint is useless.)

You have 55,000 in your savings account that pays 2.5% annual interest and the inflation rate is 3.4%. How much buying power wil
diamong [38]
We solve the question as follows:
Simple interest=Principle×Rate×Time
Thus given:
p=$55000, R=2.5%, time= 1 year
thus
Interest=55000×0.025×1=$1375

To evaluate the amount required to keep up with the inflation, your interest rate should match the inflation rate otherwise prices are going up faster than the savings.
Required interest rate=55000×0.034×1=$1870

The buying power lost will be the difference between your required interest and actual interest.

Thus:
Buying power lost=1870-1375=$495

Lyrx [107]

The area of a parallelogram can be found in the same way as that of a rectangle, so base x height. To find the base we have to do area ÷ height or 18 1/3 ÷ 3 1/3= 5.5 feet
