The new average will be 89.55%.
The average is defined as the mean value which is equal to the ratio of the sum of the number of a given set of values to the total number of values present in the set.
It is given that,
Average score after 8 tests = 91%.
Therefore, Total score of 8 tests = Average score*Number of tests
Total score of 8 tests = 91*8
Total score of 8 tests = 728
Now, Cory scored 78% in 9th test,
So, Total score of 9 tests = Total score of 8 tests + 78
Total score of 9 tests = 728 + 78
Total score of 9 tests = 806
Hence, Average score of 9 test = Total score of 9 tests/9
Average score of 9 test = 806/9
⇒ Average score of 9 test = 89.55%
Hence, the new average will be 89.55%.

The simplified form of expression is 9 (3 - 2r).
Used the concept of distributive property,
The distributive property states that an expression that is given in the form of A (B + C) can be solved as A × (B + C) = AB + AC.
Given that the expression is,
27 - 18r
Apply the distributive property on the expression and it can be written as,
27 - 18r
Since LCM {27, 18} = 9
So, take 9 as a common term,
27 - 18r = 9×3 - 9×2r
= 9 (3 - 2r)
Therefore, the solution of the expression is, 9 (3 - 2r)

Answer: Speed of local bus is 50 mph and speed of express bus is 75 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
let say speed of local bus = x
so speed of express bus = x + 25
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance traveled by local bus = x × 10.2 = 10.2x
Distance traveled by express bus = (x + 25) × 6.8
since Distance traveled by local bus is same as Distance traveled by express bus
⇒10.2x = (x + 25) × 6.8
⇒ 10.2x = 6.8x + 170
⇒ 10.2x - 6.8x = 170
⇒ x = 170/3.4 = 50
So Speed of local bus = x = 50 mph
and Speed of express bus = x + 25 = 50 + 25 = 75 mph
