Answer:

The distance is 280 miles

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

When going to the mountain:

Let the speed be x.

Speed = x

Time = 8

When going home:

Speed = 21 + x

Time = 5

Required

Determine the distance of the mountains

Distance is calculated as:

Distance =  Speed * Time

When going to the mountains, the distance is:

Distance = x * 8

When going home, the distance is:

Distance = (21 + x) * 5

It should be noted that, the distance is the same.

So, we have:

x * 8 = (21 + x) * 5

Open bracket

x * 8 = 21* 5 + x * 5

8x = 105 + 5x

Collect Like Terms

8x - 5x= 105

3x= 105

Divide both sides by 3

x= \frac{105}{3}

x= 35

Substitute 35 for x in

Distance = x * 8

Distance = 35  * 8

Distance = 280

<em>The distance is 280 miles</em>

If a designer sold 2,000 units of a dress with total sales of $190,000, what was the average price of the garment?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

At time t=0 hours, a tank contains 3000 litres of water. Water leaks from the tank. At the end of every hour there is x% less wa
Margaret [11]

Answer:

x = 2; K = 0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

At time, t = 0, Volume of Water = 3,000 litres

After t hours , the Volume of water in the tank = Vt

At the end of every hour there is a x% less water in the tank then at the start of the hour

After 1 hour, volume of water left Vt = V1

V1 = 3,000 - 3000 × (x/100)

V1 = 3,000 - 30x

After 2 hours, Volume of water left is V2

V2 = (3,000 - 30 x) - (3,000 - 30 x) × (x/100)

V2 = (3,000 - 30 x) - (3000x - 30x²)/100

V2 = {100(3000 - 30x) - x(3000 - 30x)} /100

V2 = {(3000 - 30x)(100 - x)}/100

Recall, V2 = 2881.2

Therefore

{(3000 - 30x)(100 - x)}/100 = 2881.2

(3000 - 30x)(100 - x) = 288120

300000 - 3000 x - 3000 x + 30 x² = 288120

30 x ² - 6000 x + 11880 = 0

Dividing both sides by 30

x² - 200 x + 396=0

Factorizing:

(x -198)(x-2) = 0

x = 198 or x = 2

Since the percentage by which the water reduces cannot be greater than 100, x = 2 is chosen.

Step 2: Solving for k

Given that Vt=KtV0

K = Vt/V0

At t = 1

V1 = 3000 - 30x

V1 = 3000 - 30 × 2

V1 = 3000 - 60

V1 = 2940

K = 2940/3000

K = 0.98
