Answer:

E. 120

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 40

B. 72

C. 80

D. 100

E. 120

Let

x = the intended distance

y = length of the pool

She covers one fifth of her intended distance

Distance covered = 1/5 of x

= x/5

After swimming six more lengths of the pool she had covered one quarter of her intended distance

x/5 + 6y = 1/4 of x

x/5 + 6y = x/4

Collect like terms

6y = x/4 - x/5

6y = 5x - 4x/20

6y = x/20

x = 20 * 6y

= 120y

x = 120y

The intended distance Rebecca wants to cover = 120

To see how costly it would be for other people to compete a similar cycling tour, you decide to work out two averages and compar
Damm [24]

Group A

Money spent by Person 1 = £500

Money spent by Person 2 = £600

Money spent by Person 3 = £900

Money spent by Person 4 = £450

Sum of money spent by group A = £2,450

Average money spent by group A = \frac{2,450}{4}

⇒ Average money spent by group A = £612.5

Group B

Money spent by Person 1 = £700

Money spent by Person 2 = £500

Money spent by Person 3 = £680

Money spent by Person 4 = £500

Sum of money spent by group B = £2,380

Average money spent by group B = \frac{2,380}{4}

⇒ Average money spent by group B = £595

Hence, Group B had lower average spend.
