Problem K. 420. (March 2014)

K. 420. Alex drives 63 km to work each morning. If he starts 20 minutes later than usual, his journey will take 40% more time because of the traffic jam, and thus his average speed is reduced to 36 km/h. How long does Alex take to drive to work if he starts at the usual time?

Megoldás. 63 km-t 36 km/h átlagsebességgel megtéve az ehhez szükséges idő 63:36=1,75 óra. Ez 40%-kal több, mint a szokásos menetidő, ami ezek szerint 1,75:1,4 = 1,25 óra.
