Answer: the speed of the car is 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the bus. The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the bus. It means that the speed of the car is (2x - 30) mph.

The car and the bus set out at 2pm from the same point, headed in the same direction.

Distance = speed × time

In two hours, It means the distance covered by the bus is

2 × x = 2x

In two hours, the car is 20 miles ahead of the bus. It means that the distance covered by the car in 2 hours is (2x + 20) miles

Time = distance/speed

Therefore,

2 = (2x + 20)/(2x - 30)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

2(2x - 30) = 2x + 20

4x - 60 = 2x + 20

4x - 2x = 20 + 60

2x = 80

x = 80/2

x = 40 mph

Speed of the car is

2x - 30 = 2 × 40 - 30 = 50 mph

Mrs. Jackson put a total of $10,000 into two accounts one account earns 6% simple annual interest the other account earns 6.5% s
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The money invested in account at 6 % rate is $ 9230.77

The money invested in account at 6.5 % rate is $ 769.23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total amount saves in two account = $ 10,000

The two rate of interest are 6 % and 6.5 % at simple interest

The interest earn at 6 % rate = $ 632

The interest earn at 6.5 % ate = $ 50

Now, Let The amount deposit at 6 % rate = $ x

And The amount deposit at 6.5 % rate = $ 10,000 - $ x

<u>From Simple Interest method</u>

Simple Interest = \dfrac{\textrm principal \times \textrm Rate\times \textrm time}{100}

or, At 6.5 % rate

$ 50 =  \dfrac{\textrm (10,000 - x ) \times \textrm 6.5\times \textrm 1}{100}

or, 10000 - x =  \frac{5000}{6.5}

Or, 10000 - x = 769.23

∴  x = 10000 - 769.23

I.e x = $ 9230.77

So , At 6.5 % the amount deposit = 10,000 - 9230.77 = $ 769.23

So, At 6 % The amount deposit  = $ 9230.77

Hence The money invested in account at 6 % rate is $ 9230.77

And  The money invested in account at 6.5 % rate is $ 769.23 Answer
