Answer: speed of plane is 69/miles per hour

Speed of wind is 23 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the plane.

Let y represent the speed of the wind.

A plane traveled 1012 miles each way to Warsaw and back. The trip there was with wind. It took 11 hours.

This means that the speed is x+y miles/hour. Therefore

1012 = 11(x+y)

1012 = 11x + 11y - - - - - - - - 1

The trip back was into wind. The trip back took 22 hours.

Since it flew against the wind, the speed would be x-y km/hour

Distance = speed × time. Therefore

1012 = 22(x - y )

1012 = 22x - 22y

Dividing through by 2

506 = 11x - 11y- - - - - - - - - 2

Adding equation 1 and equation 2, it becomes

1518 = 22x

x = 1518/22 = 69

Substituting x = 69 into

1012 = 22(x - y )

x - y = 1012/622= 46

y = 69 - 46 = 23

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Cost\ of\ donut=\frac{49}{24}\approx \$2.042\\\\cost\ of\ donuts=\frac{49}{4}\approx \$12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Let\ cost\ of\ coffee=y\\\\cost\ of\ one\ donut=x\\\\Each\ friend\ buy\ one\ coffee\ and\ two\ donuts\\\\Amount\ for\ 1\ friend=Cost\ of\ coffee+2\times cost\ of\ donut\\\\Amount\ for\ 1\ friend=y+2x\\\\Amount\ required\ for\ 3\ friend=3\times Amount\ for\ 1\ friend\\\\Amount\ required\ for\ 3\ friend=3\times (y+2x)\\\\Amount\ required\ for\ 3\ friend=3y+6x\\\\Total\ bill=\$ 22\\\\3y+2x=22\\\\Given\ cost\ of\ coffee=\$3.25\\\\y=\$3.25

Hence\ solution\ of\ following\ system\ of\ equation\ will\ give\ cost\ of\ donut:\\\\3y+6x=22\\\\y=3.25\\\\\\Substitute\ y=3.25\ in\ first\ equation\\\\3\times 3.25+6x=22\\\\9.75+6x=22\\\\6x=22-9.75\\\\6x=12.25\\\\x=\frac{12.25}{6}\\\\x=\frac{49}{24}\approx \$2.042\\\\Cost\ of\ donut=\frac{49}{24}\approx \$2.042

See attached diagram.

b.

Each\ friend\ takes\ 2\ donuts\\\\Total\ donuts=Number\ of\ friends\times 2\\\\Total\ donuts=3\times 2=6\\\\cost\ of\ donuts=number\ of\ donuts\times cost\ of\ 1\ donut\\\\cost\ of\ donuts=6\times \frac{49}{24}\\\\cost\ of\ donuts=\frac{49}{4}\approx \$12.25
