Answer:
12 miles in 4 hours is 3 mph
52-12=40 miles left
40 miles at 5 mph would take 8 hours
8+4=10
it took 10 hours to finish the trip.
JKM = M + L
15x - 48 = 40 + 5x + 12
10x - 48 = 52
10x = 100
x = 10
JKM = 15(10) - 48 = 102
180 = JKM + MKL
180 = 102 + MKL
MKL = 180 - 102 = 78
With Calculator:
To work out the multiplier, take the percentage, divide by 100 and add 1
17.5% / 100 = 0.175
1 + 0.175 = 1.175
£50 x 1.175 = £58.75
Without Calculator:
First work out easy percentages of 50 (if needed use previous answers (such as 10) to work out smaller percentages (such as 5%))
100% = 50
10% = 5
5% = 2.5
2.5% = 1.25
10% + 5% + 2.5% = 17.5%
5 + 2.5 + 1.25 = £8.75
Add this on to the original price:
£50 + £8.75 = £58.75
The total price, including VAT, is £58.75
