If we let x be the speed of the boat you are taking to the island (the steamboat), then we know that the speed of the other boat (the tall ship) is 10 knots less than the steamboat's. So the speed of the tall ship (for the return trip) is (x - 10) knots.
-11= -5+6n+6
-11+5-6=6n
-12=6n
n= -2

Answer:
He will read 92 pages in an hour going by the current rate at which he reads
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is as follows;
Jamil found that he reads 1/5 of his 115 - page book in 1/4 of an hour. At this rate how many pages does he read in an hour
We proceed as follows;
If he reads 1/5 of 115 in 1/4 hour
1/5 of 115 pages refer to 1/5 * 115 = 23 pages
This means that he reads 23 pages in quarter of an hour
So in an hours the number of pages he will read will be 23 * 4 = 92 pages
Answer:
The answer is $ 59.84
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, I know this is not one of the options, but hear me out:
To find the sales tax for that item, you need to multiply the dollar amount by the sales tax (in percent):
$55 * 8.8% = $4.84
So the sales tax is $4.84. However, the question asks "How much would you pay for that item?", not what the sales tax is. So I would solve this problem by adding the sales tax to the dollar amount of the item:
$55 + $4.84 = $ 59.84
If you are able to write or type your answer, I would type $ 59.84. If you can only select one of the given values, then I would suggest going with A: $ 4.84 just because its the only number that is actually relevant at all to the problem.
