One bus traveles 20 km/hr faster than another. While the slower bus traveles 280 km the faster one goes 440 km. Find the speed of the faster bus.
 a) 35 km/hr
 b) 45 km/hr
 c) 55 km/hr
 d) 65 km/hr
 e) none of these

Solution
Distance = Rate * Time
 Distance/Rate = Time
 Times were equal:
 Distance/Rate = Distance/Rate
 Slower bus\'s distance: 280
 Slower bus\'s rate: r
 Faster bus\'s distance: 440
 Faster bus\'s rate: r + 20
 280/r = 440/(r + 20)
 280(r + 20) = 440r
 280r + 5600 = 440r
 5600 = 160r
 35 = r
 Faster bus\'s rate: 35 + 20 = 55km/hr
