P runs 25% faster than Q so P gives Q a ten meter head start. If the race ends in a tie, how far (in meters) did P run in the race?  Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 50
B) 60
C) 70
D) 80
E) 90
Let D be the race distance that P ran.   Let T be the time it took to complete the race.   Let V be Q's speed.   T = D/1.25V = (D-10) / V   D=1.25D-12.5   0.25D=12.5   D=50 meters.   The answer is 50.
