The shortest route from London to Edinburgh is 400 miles. A lorry is expected to take 10 hours to travel this route.
The lorry actually travels by a different route which increases the distance by 15%, but it still arrives in 10 hours.
By how many more mph than the expected speed does the lorry travel?

if it takes the lorry ten hours we divide 400 by 10

40 mph

if it takes 15% longer that means it will take

10*1.15=11.5

if we divide 400 by 11.5

we get 34.7826086957

or 34.8

so the lorry travels 5.2 mph faster then the expected speed

Hope This Helps!!!
