A car traveled 65% of the way from Town A to Town B at an average speed of 65 mph.
The car traveled at an average speed of v mph for the remaining part of the trip.
The average speed for the entire trip was 50 mph. What is v in mph?
Choose the correct choice from the following

1 hour   Time taken for the rest of the 35 miles= 35/v hours.   Average speed = 50   Therefore the total time needed = 2 hours.   2 = 1 + 35/v   Hence v = 35 mph   Correct Option: 35
