It is important to do the
calculations very carefully. Otherwise there is nothing complicated about this
problem.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then
40x/100 = 55
40x = 55 * 100
40x = 5500
x = 5500/40
= 550/4
= 137.5
So
55 is 40% of 137.50. I hope the procedure is clear to you and in future
you can solve such problems on your own without requiring any help from
outside.This is the simplest way of solving such
problems.
If the value of a is positive, the line slopes upwards.
The speed at which they are moving apart = 475 + 525 = 1000 mi/h
Time = distance / speed
= 6000 / 1000 = 6 hours
The answer is 6 hours.
