To find the distance traveled, we multiply the speed by the time. In this case, one person travels 60t miles in one direction, and the other person travels 50t miles in the other direction. So at any time t, the distance between the two people is 60t + 50t = 110t.
Given that the distance between them is 440 miles, we can solve for t with the following equation:
110t = 440
t = 4 hours
Hello there! So, let's do this a bit at a time. Mike's Bikes sells a bike for $300, but gives a 25% discount for any bike in the store. To find out how much he would pay for the bike, multiply 300 by 75% (0.75). This is because you are still paying 75% of the original price for that bike. When you do, you get 225. That's $225 for the bike at Mike's Bikes. Now, the one at Cycle Center sells a bike for $275, but gives a rebate of $40 after purchasing the bike. A rebate is basically a refund: you get money paid back to you. In this case, we would subtract 40 from 275, because you're basically getting paid back some of what you did pay. 275 - 40 is 235. That's $235 for the bike at Cycle Center. I'll write the prices of the bikes out to make it easier to read.
Mike's Bikes: $225
Cycle Center: $235
Okay. so when you look at the prices for the mountain bikes, you see that the bike at Mike's Bikes is $10 cheaper than the bike at Cycle Center. Dante should purchase his mountain bike at Mike's Bikes, because he will pay less money there. The Cycle Center does give $40 back, but Mike's Bikes has the bike that costs less. 225 < 235.
The correct answer is B)
I hope this helps.
Have a "AWESOME" day! :)
