Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
6x-15-4x=11
2x-15=11
2x=26
x=13
Let x = cost of desktop computer; then x - 250 = cost of laptop computer
converting % to decimals, 9% = 0.09 and 6% = 0.06
Then, 0.09x + (x - 250)0.06 = $300
0.09x + 0.06x - 15 = $300
0.15x = $315
x = $2100
then x - 250 = $1850
Proof: $2100•0.09 + 1850•0.06 = $189 + $111 = $300
In this question it is already given that a person travels 8 miles in 0.5 hours. This is enough information to get to the required answer. Let us first write down all the information's that are already given in the question.
In 0.5 hours the person covers a distance = 8 miles
Then
In 1 hour the person covers a distance of = 8/0.5 miles
= 16 miles
So the speed of the person in miles per hour = 16/1 miles/hour
= 16 miles per hour
