Answer:
The answer is b. But you asked for the thought process so...
Step-by-step explanation:
Let speed of the 1st trip x miles / hr. and speed of the 2nd trip 3x / hr.
We know that
Speed = Distance/Time.
Or, Time = Distance/Speed.
So, the time taken to cover a distance of 50 miles on his first trip = 50/x hr.
And the time taken to cover a distance of 300 miles on his later trip = 300/3x hr.
= 100/x hr.
So we can clearly see that his new time compared with the old time was: twice as much.
Have a great day :)
Let number of hours needed to work = x
Multiply number of hours by rate: 15x
Add what you already have saved:
15x + 215
This needs to equal at least 800:
The equation becomes:
15x + 215 >= 800
Solve for x:
15x + 215 >= 800
Subtract 215 from both sides
15x >= 585
Divide both sides by 15
X >= 39
They have to work at least 39 hours.
