Let us assume as at when they meet, the time elapsed is x hours.
Fred 3 mi/h
John 2 mi/h
Distance = speed * time
Fred = 3x
John = 2x
Houses are 4miles apart.
So: 3x + 2x = 4 5x = 4
x = 4/5 hour = 0.8 hour or 0.8*60 = 48 minutes
Time elapsed is 0.8 hour or 48 minutes.
80% × x = 32
.80x = 32
x = 32/.8
x = 40
Answer:
The tip will be $7.2
And the total paid will be $55.20 or $55 rounded
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is
48 x 0.15 = 7.2
48 + 7.2 = 55.2
55.2 rounded equals 55
