Answer: the speed of the plane is 130 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the plane. If the car travels 80 mph slower than the plane, then the speed of the car would be (x - 80) mph.

Time = Distance/speed

plane can fly 520 miles in the same time as it takes a car to go 200 miles. This means that the time it takes the plane to fly 520 miles is

520/x

Also, the time it takes the car to drive 200 miles is

200/(x - 80)

Since the time is the same, it means that

520/x = 200/(x - 80)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

520(x - 80) = 200 × x

520x - 41600 = 200x

520x - 200x = 41600

320x = 41600

x = 41600/320

x = 130 mph

How to do percentages ?
Rus_ich [418]
Say you're trying to figure out what percentage 3 is of 15.

3/15 = x/100

You would cross multiply so..

3(100) = 15x

Then simplify.

300 = 15x

300/15 = 15x/15

20 = x

Therefore, 3 is 20% of 15.

Anna [14]

Answer:

37%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of people that supported the home team, we need to find the total number of people.

This is because the percentage of people supporting the home team will be given by:

Number of people supporting home team / total number of people

The total number of people is the people supporting the home team plus the people supporting the visiting team:

1369+2331=3700

<u>Therefore, our percentage will be:</u>

1369/3700

Plug this into our calculator and we get:

0.37

Convert that a percentage for a final answer of 37%
