Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let v, t be the current average speed and the time taken to reach the school respectively.
As distance = speed x time, so,
distance, d=vt...(i)
Let V be the new average speed in order to to take 20% less time than t.
So, time taken with speed V = t-20% of t = t- 0.2t= 0.8t
As distance is constant, so
d= V(0.8t)= 0.8Vt
hBy using equation (i), we have
0.8Vt = vt
0.8 V = v
V= v/0.8=1.25v
Therefore, the percentage increase in the average speed = 
=25%
Hence, the percentage increase in the average speed is 25%.
Answer:
a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide . if both its dimensions are increased 4 m , its area is increaed by 88 m squared make a sketch and find its original dimensions of the original rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l = the original length of the original rectangle
Let w = the original width of the original rectangle
From the description of the problem, we can construct the following two equations
l=2*w (Equation #1)
(l+4)*(w+4)=l*w+88 (Equation #2)
Substitute equation #1 into equation #2
(2w+4)*(w+4)=(2w*w)+88
2w^2+4w+8w+16=2w^2+88
collect like terms on the same side of the equation
2w^2+2w^2 +12w+16-88=0
4w^2+12w-72=0
Since 4 is afactor of each term, divide both sides of the equation by 4
w^2+3w-18=0
The quadratic equation can be factored into (w+6)*(w-3)=0
Therefore w=-6 or w=3
w=-6 can be rejected because the length of a rectangle can't be negative so
w=3 and from equation #1 l=2*w=2*3=6
I hope that this helps. The difficult part of the problem probably was to construct equation #1 and to factor the equation after performing all of the arithmetic operations.
