Question

Jerry and his friends are hiking around a local lake. They have hiked 3.3 miles and are 55 % around the lake. How much farther do they need to hike to get completely around the lake?

Answer 1

55% of what is 3.3
0.55x = 3.3
x = 3.3 / 0.55
x = 6 total miles

6 - 3.3 = 2.7......so they have another 2.7 miles to go
