When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
Answer:
B. 28 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN :- <em>Time taken by family to travel 600 km is 8 hours</em>
CALCULATIONS :-
<em>To calculate the time to travel 2100 km, we need to calculate distance traveled in 1 hour</em>
<em>Distance traveled in 1 hour = 600 km ÷ 8</em>
<em> = 75 km</em>
<em>Time required to travel 2100 km = 2100 ÷ 75</em>
<em> = </em><em>28 hours</em>
Therefore time required to travel 2100 km is 28 hours.
