Answer:

44.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of discount = (difference in prices / original price) x 100

Difference in price = $1299 - $725 = $574

Original price = $1299

($574 / $1299) x 100 = 44.187837%

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero

the hundredth figure is 8, which is greater than 5. 1 would be added to the tenth figure.

So it becomes 44.2%

Enter an equation that can be used to solve this problem, where x represents the number of hours that the first plane had been t
Tom [10]
X=number of hours that the first plane had been traveling.
(x-2)=number of hours that the second plane had been traveling.

we can suggest this equation:

500x+550(x-2)=3100

Now, we can solve this equation:
500x+550(x-2)=3100
500x+550x-1100=3100
1050x=3100+1100
1050x=4200
x=4200/1050
x=4

Answer:
Equation:  500x+550(x-2)=3100
The amount hours, after the first plane left , when the planes will be 3100 miles would be 4 hours.
