Question

A patrolman gives a driver a speeding ticket if the driver’s speed is greater than 15% over the posted speed limit. If the speed limit is 40 miles per hour, what is the highest speed that a driver can go without receiving a ticket?

Answer 1

No faster than 46 mph

Explanation:

40*.15=6

6+40=46

(This is assuming they can go 15% over the speed limit and not that the car needs to be below 15% over the soeed limit)
