2 laps in 41 seconds because you have to divide it in half and then you get your
20% is 150 of 30!
Have a great day! :)
Answer: 64.3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can build a system of two linear equations with two unknowns with the info provided in the problem, one with Kelsey info and one with Mitch info like so:
Lets call p the amount on peak minutes and n the amount of non-peak minutes:
45p + 50n = 27.75
70p + 30n = 36
lets reduce the equations dividing the first by 5:
9p + 10n = 5.55
<span>70p + 30n = 36
</span>now, to eliminate n, lets multiply the first equation by -3 and add the two equations:
-27p - 30n = -16.65
<span>70p + 30n = 36
</span>----------------------------
43p + 0 = 19.35
p = 19.35<span>/43
p = 0.45
therefore the peak rate is $0.45 per minute
lets substitute in one of the original equations this result:
</span><span>45p + 50n = 27.75
</span>45(0.45) + 50n = 27.75
20.25 <span>+ 50n = 27.75
50n = 27.75 - 20.25
50n = 7.5
n = 7.5/50
n = 0.15
therefore the non-peak rate per minute is $0.15</span>
To get the answer we can use proportion
40% ----------------- 34
100% --------------- x
crossmultiply now
40x=100*34
40x=3400 /:40 divide both sides by 40
x=3400:40
x=85 - its the answer
