Answer:
15%
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of 2 adults and 2 children without the discount is
2 adults = 2 (55) = 110
2 children = 2 (45) = 90
Total cost = 110+90 = 200
The original price is 200 and the new price is 170
Percentage discount = (Original price - new price)/ original price * 100%
= (200-170)/200 * 100%
= 30/200 * 100%
= .15 * 100%
= 15%

Answer:
1 hour after they leave
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance each travels is proportional to its speed. The given speeds are at right angles to each other in a 5:12 ratio. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the hypotenuse of such a right triangle will have length ...
√(5²+12²)=√169 = 13
That is the speeds are in the ratio 5:12:13, where 13 represents the relative separation speed. Actual speeds are then 50 mph : 120 mph : 130 mph.
So the distance between the boat and steamer will be increasing at 130 mph. The distance will be 130 miles after 1 hour.
