Question 296493: A plane flying the 3020-mile trip from City A to City B has a 60-mph tailwind. The flight's point of no return is the point at which the flight time required to return to City A is the same as the time required to continue to City B. If the speed of the plane in still air is 430 mph, how far from City A is the point of no return? Round your answer to the nearest mile.
