let Mary's speed = x kph
\n" ); document.write( "Nancy's speed = 80 kph\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "They reached at the same time\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "220/80 -220/x =1/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "LCD = 80x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(220x-220*80)/80x=1/4
\n" ); document.write( "220x-17600=80x/4
\n" ); document.write( "(220x-17600)=20x
\n" ); document.write( "220x-20x=17600
\n" ); document.write( "200x= 17600
\n" ); document.write( "x=17600/200
\n" ); document.write( "x=88 kph Mary's speed\r
