1. Write the equation for Willa catching up to Roger:

500 + 20t = 40t

2. Subtract 20t from both sides:

500 = 20t

3. Divide both sides by 20:

t = 25

4. Therefore, the time it took Willa to catch up is:

t = 25

QUESTION l. An investigation has been carried out in a region to know the perception of "citizen insecurity" of its inhabitants. 1,270 people in the region were interviewed, of which 27.1% responded that it was a "serious" problem.
