P runs 25% faster than Q so P gives Q a 60 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) 100
B) 200
C) 300
D) 400
E) 500

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 / 1.25 v = ( d - 60 ) / v d = 1.25 d - 75 0.25 d = 75 d = 300 meters . the answer is c ."
Answer: C
