A plane can fly 560 miles in the same time as it takes a car to go 240 miles. If the car travels 80 mph slower that the plane l, find the speed of the plane.
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "P = plane's speed
\n" ); document.write( "C = Car's speed
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "P*t = 560
\n" ); document.write( "C*t = 240
\n" ); document.write( "P = C + 80
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "t = 560/P = 240/(P - 80)
\n" ); document.write( "240P = 560*(P - 80)
\n" ); document.write( "240P = 560P - 44800
\n" ); document.write( "320P = 44800
\n" ); document.write( "P = 140 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
