Well here's your answer straight <u><em>he must pay 29.82$ </em></u>and here's my work,
- 20% of 35 is 7 and since its 20% off we must subtract 35-7=28
- Next it said there's a 6.5 tax so that means we are adding on to 28$
- 6.5 of 28 is 1.82 so we add 28+1.82 which equals your answer 29.82
Answer:
Morning's average rate = 50 mph, and Afternoon's average rate = 25 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose he drove 150 miles for X hours, then his average rate in the morning was (150/X) mph.
Given that he spent 5 hours in driving.
And he drove 50 miles for (5-X) hours, then his average rate in the afternoon was 50/(5-X) mph.
Given that his average rate in the morning was twice his average rate in the afternoon.
(150/x) = 2 * 50/(5-x)
150/x = 100/(5-x)
Cross multiplying terms, we get:-
150*(5-x) = 100*x
750 - 150x = 100x
750 = 100x + 150x
750 = 250x
x = 750/250 = 3.
It means he spent 3 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.
So morning's average rate = 150/3 = 50 mph.
and afternoon's average rate = 50/(5-3) = 25 mph.
