3.A bus trip of 450 miles would have taken 1 hour less if the average speed S for the trip had been greater by 5 miles per hour.What was the average speed S, in miles per hour, for the trip? ANSWER:45
1:(365/7)*10-12*30=160,although absent of all answers you gave,take it only as a reference. 2:"each year" modifies "decreased",not "the purchase price in each of the mentioned year".So it is an issue on simple interest:8000* (1-(2*0.3)) 3:450/S-450/(s+5)=1,a simple equation Hope it helps
