donovan and michael are racing around a circular 300 - meter track . if donovan runs each lap in 45 seconds and michael runs each lap in 40 seconds , how many laps will michael have to complete in order to pass donovan , assuming they start at the same time ?

"official solution : the problem asks for the amount of weekly sales it takes for angelo and isabella to earn the same amount of money . you can write an equation that sets angelo ’ s and isabella ’ s weekly earnings equal to each other , with x representing weekly sales . weekly earnings for each salesperson equal base salary plus commission . so angelo ’ s earnings are 550 + ( 0.08 ) ( x – 5,000 ) , and isabella ’ s are 0.10 x . set up the equation and solve : 550 + ( 0.08 ) ( x – 5,000 ) = 0.10 x distribute the 0.08 : 550 + 0.08 x – 400 = 0.10 x combine terms and subtract 0.08 x from both sides : 150 = 0.02 x divide both sides by 0.02 : 7,500 = x your answer is a ."

let the total number of original inhabitants be x . ( 75 / 100 ) * ( 90 / 100 ) * x = 4860 ( 27 / 40 ) * x = 4860 x = 4860 * 40 / 27 = 7200 the answer is b .
