P runs 20% faster than Q so P gives Q a 50 meter head start. If the race ends in a tie, how far (in meters) did P run in the race?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 250 B) 300 C) 350 D) 400 E) 450

Rationale: 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 / 1.2 v = ( d - 50 ) / v d = 1.2 d - 60 0.2 d = 60 d = 300 meters . the answer is b .
Answer: B
