Walking with 4/5 of my usual speed, I arrive at the bus stop 9 minutes later than normal. How many minutes does it take to walk to the bus stop at my usual speed?
Answer/Solution
36
Steps/Work
Let t = usual time = distance / usual speed
t + 9 = distance / (4* usual speed/5) = (5 * distance) / (4 * usual speed) = 5t/4
t = 36
The answer is D.
t + 9 = distance / (4* usual speed/5) = (5 * distance) / (4 * usual speed) = 5t/4
t = 36
The answer is D.
