Answer:20mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of plane = x mph

Speed of plane with wind = 485 mph

So therefore, speed of wind =

485 - x

Speed of plane against wind = 445 mph

So therefore, speed of wind =

x - 445

So therefore, equating the 2 equations of speed of wind

485 - x = x - 445

Collect like terms

485 + 445 = x + x

930 = 2x

2x = 930

x = 930/2 = 465 mph

Speed of wind = x = 465mph

So we put this value on any of the equations for speed of wind

Speed of wind = x - 445 = 465 - 445

= 20 mph

So therefore, speed of wind = 20mph

Answer:

a. 90 pack

b. $0.27

c. $0.18

d. $0.21

e. 60 pack

Step-by-step explanation:

a. i think  the 90 pack container should be having least unit rate per pack,as purchasing in bulk amount the cost of a unit should be reduced to some amount which is must to lure the customer to purchase in bulk amounts.

b. unit price = total cost of container ÷ number of individual units inside it

for 20 pack, unit rate = 5.49÷20 = $0.27

c. for 60 pack, unit rate = 10.97÷60 =$0.18

d. for 90 pack, unit rate = 18.95÷90 =$0.21

e. ∴ the 60 pack container has the least unit rate per pack which is in contrary with our expectation of 90 pack to be lowest expecting bulk order.
