Answer:

25%.

Explanation:

The train has to increase its speed to 25% more in order to reduce the destination and reach the station on time because there is one quarter delay occurs in time of train to reach the station. If the train is delay which means that the train is moving with lower speed so in order to reach on time on the station so the train has to increase its speed to recover the time which is lost due to low speed. We know that speed is inversely proportional to the time so if the speed increases, the time will be decrease.

How did the Dutch West India company make its money?
Morgarella [4.7K]
N the 1600s, the Dutch West India Company was more powerful and successful than Microsoft, IBM, or General Motors today. The Company's thousands of employees had one primary goal: to make money. Investors in the Dutch West India Company were fortunate. Its annual profits went as high as 200 or 300 percent. (In comparison, a strong stock today might return yearly profits of 20 or 30 percent.) In the pursuit of profits, the Company traded commodities such as spices, sugar, fur, and slaves. It also fought battles against Spain to gain new territory.

The Dutch West India Company was an offshoot of the Dutch East India Company, which funded Henry Hudson's voyage to North America in 1609. If Hudson could find a secret shortcut to Asia, the Company would make even more profits.

Although Hudson failed at this mission, his dazzling reports of fur trading opportunities inspired merchants. About fifteen years later, the Company sent over some thirty families as colonists and workers. They called the new colony "New Amsterdam." Later renamed New York, it would grow into one of the greatest cities in the world.
