Answer:

speed of motorcycle = 40 mph

speed of car = 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

A car and a motorcycle leave at noon from the same location, heading in the same direction. The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the motorcycle. In two hours, the car is 20 miles ahead of the motorcycle. Find the speed of both the car and the motorcycle, in miles per hour.

Speed = distance / time

This question would be solved using simultaneous equation

let m =  average speed of the motorcycle

c = average speed of the car

c = 2m - 30  equation 1

20 =(c - m) x 2 equation 2

insert equation 1 into equation 2 and divide through by 2

10 = (2m - 30) - m

solve for m

m = 40 mph

substitute for m in equation 1

2(40) - 20 = 50 mph

andriy [413]

Answer:

You will have $1628.16 per month in discretionary money.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the amount of money you have left for discretionary purposes at the end of the money, you need to calculate the total amount of your monthly pay is going towards expenses and savings.  Since there are 12 months in a year, your monthly income is $3072.  Of that amount, you spend 32% on housing and 15% on savings, for a total of 47%.  The remaining percentage of your income would be considered discretionary, which would account for 53%.  To find the amount of money, you take your monthly income and multiply it by 53%, or .53, which gives you $1628.16.
