Answer: Marcus's walking speed is 4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Marcus's walking speed.

His speed on the bicycle is 6 mi/h faster than his walking speed. This means that his speed on the bicycle would be

x + 6

Time = distance/speed

Time spent by Marcus in walking 1 mile to the library is

1/x

Time spent by Marcus in bicycling 2.5 miles to the sporting good store is

2.5/(x + 6)

Since the time that he spends in walking to the library is about the same time that he spends in bicycling to the sporting good store, then

1/x = 2.5/(x + 6)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

1 × (x + 6) = 2.5 × x

x + 6 = 2.5x

2.5x - x = 6

1.5x = 6

x = 6/1.5 = 4

Answer: the total amount of money that they wanted to raise is $2400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total amount of money that Keelan and her friends want to raise.

After the first event they raise $240 which is 10% of the total amount they want to raise. The amount of money that raised after the first event is expressed as

10/100 × x = 0.1 × x = 0.1x

Therefore,

0.1x = 240

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.1, it becomes

x = 240/0.1

x = $2400

What’s the right answer?
Nataly [62]
I will give you the formula and teach you how to solve this. Let’s start with finding the area of both the right triangles.
The formula is, base x height / 2 = area
Triangle 1 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Triangle 2 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Rectangle - 8x3 = 24
Add them up: 24 + 8 + 8 = 40 square feet
I hope this wasn’t to confusing
