To save energy, the speed of the airport moving walkway was slowed down by 10% and as a result it takes an extra \(9\) seconds for it to complete the “trip”. How long, inseconds, does it take to complete the trip after the slow down?

Let the total time it takes the moving walkway after 10% slowdown==T

 

Then: 0.10T ==9 seconds

 

Therefore T ==9 / 0.10 ==90 seconds to complete the trip after slowdown
