Answer:
C. 52.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The total from W(-20) to Z(120) is 140.
You can add up all of the numbers in the ratio, 2:3:3, to get 8
Divide 140 by 8 to get 17.5
Multiply 17.5 times the number in the ratio for each segment, so the new ratio would be 35 : 52.5 : 52.5
Since you are trying to find segment XY, which was the 2nd number in the ratio, you would get your answer as 52.5
Given :
Cost of single bottle, C = $1.69 .
Cost of 4 bottles, B = $5 .
You bought one bottle last week for $1.69 and one bottle this week at the 4 for $5 price.
To Find :
Did you pay more or less for the bottle this week at 4 for $5? How much more or less?
Solution :
Effective price per bottle if we purchase 4 is, E = 5/4 = $1.25 .
Regular price, R = $1.69 .
Change in price, C = $( 1.69 - 1.25 ) = $0.44 .
Therefore, we are paying $0.44 less than the actual price.
Hence, this is the required solution.
25/5 = 5
and also
15/3 = 5
so
(3x+ 8)/5 = 4
3x + 8 = 20
3x = 12
x = 12/3
x = 4
answer is x = 4
Distance = rate x time
D = 450 mph x 2.5 h
D = 1,125 miles
