Answer:
They live 285 miles apart
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total distance be x miles
Sean is driving to visit his friend in another state. In the first hour he travels 1/5 of the total distance. This means that he drove x/5 in the first hour. In the second hour he travels 34 miles. That means
Total distance driven in the first and second hour is
(x/5 + 34)miles
He still has 194 miles more to go.
Therefore,
The total distance is the sum of the distance travelled in the first and second hour + the remaining distance.
x = x/5 + 34 + 194
x = x/5 + 228
Cross multiplying
5x = x + 1140
4x = 1140
x = 1140/4 = 285 miles
Which equation? Sorry I don’t see one
First, you multiply 600 and .20 to find 20% of 600 rupees, which is 120 rupees. Second, you subtract the 20%, (120 rupees) from 600 rupees, which is 480 rupees. After that, you have the original selling price of 480 rupees that the man purchased the article for, but the question is stating that he gained 15% of the original sales price. So, you multiply 480 and .15 to find 15% of 480 rupees, which is 72. However, he GAINED more money than what he payed for the article so you add 72 rupees to 480 rupees to get 552 rupees. In conclusion, the man sells the article for 552 rupees.
