A tourist bus left town A and traveled at an average speed of 85 km/hr to town B which was 340 km away. If it reached town B at 1:15 pm, at what time did it start?

Given:
Distance between town A and B = 340 km
Average Speed = 85 km/hr

To find: We need to find the starting time of the bus.

Solution: 
Now,
Time = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}$
Time = $\frac{340}{85}$
Time = 4 hours
Bus reached town B at 1:15 pm.
4 hours before 1:15 pm = 9:15 am
So, bus was started at 9:15 am
