The 60$ system had a greater percentage decrease because it was a lower number to begin with. Taking the same portion out of two different numbers will always be a greater decrease for the lower number.

The length of a Train A is 480 m and it takes 2 minutes to cross a tunnel of length 1,320 m. The length of a Train B, which is s
nasty-shy [4]

Answer: 52.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of train A = 480m

Tunnel length = 1320m

Time taken to cross tunnel = 2 mins = 120sec

Length of train B = 420m

Train B is slower than train A

Difference between their speed = 18km/hr

18km/hr = (18×1000)/3600 = 5m/s

Speed of train A :

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 1320 / 120 = 11m/s

Therefore, speed of train B :

(11 - 5)m/s = 6m/s

Relative speed of the two trains is therefore;

(Speed of A + speed of B)

Note : they are moving in opposite direction

( 11 + 6)m/s = 17m/s

Therefore time taken to cross each other :

(Sum of the length of both trains / relative speed of the trains)

Time taken = (480m + 420m) / (17m/s)

Time taken = 900m / 17m/s

Time taken = 52.94s

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

a)E=.05t +34

b)$54

c)$600

Step-by-step explanation:

a) he gets 5% of tips out of all tips people gave to the restaurant , 5% --> .05 (as a decimal) --> this is "t"

he earns an extra $34 a night of work. --> this is the constant

E= --> the total earned that night

E=.05t +34

b) simply plug in the total tip into the equation

E=.05(400) + 34

E=$54

--> he earned $54 that night

c) since we are given the total earned that night, we now plug in for y. in this case we plug "$64" for y

we find t, which is tip the restaurant was given

--> 64 = .05t +34

-34. -34

30= .05t ---> divide by .05 each side

t= $600

the restaurant was tiped 600 dollars and Alun was paid 64 dollars that night of work

hoped this helped:)
