there are 5 1/5 in an hour
so multiply 1/2 by 5
1/2 = 0.5
0.5 *5 = 2.5 miles in 1 hour
-4 is the slope in the equation
The final price is the cost plus the tax.
Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as
T = C(1+r)
T = what Graham paid = $87.45
C = cost before tax
r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40
Plugging in what we know
87.45 = C (1+.4)
87.45 = C(1.4)
Divide both sides by 1.4
C = $62.46
First third and last answer
