When a quantity grows (gets bigger), then we can compute its PERCENT INCREASE:

[beautiful math coming... please be patient] <span><span>PERCENT INCREASE=<span><span>(new amount−original amount)</span>original amount</span></span><span>PERCENT INCREASE=<span><span>(new amount−original amount)</span>original amount</span></span></span>

Some people write this formula with <span><span>100%</span><span>100%</span></span> at the end,
to emphasize that since it is percent increase, it should be reported as a percent.

So, here's an alternate way to give the formula:

<span><span>PERCENT INCREASE=<span><span>(new amount−original amount)</span>original amount</span>⋅100%</span><span>PERCENT INCREASE=<span><span>(new amount−original amount)</span>original amount</span>⋅100%</span></span>

Recall that <span><span>100%=100⋅<span>1100</span>=1</span><span>100%=100⋅<span>1100</span>=1</span></span> .
So, <span><span>100%</span><span>100%</span></span> is just the number <span>11</span> !
Multiplying by <span>11</span> doesn't change anything except the name of the number!
Hope this helps

Answer:

  90 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the distance to Grandma's house.

The speed going was ...

  speed = distance/time

  speed = d/2

The speed coming home was ...

  speed = d/2.25

The difference of these speeds is 5 miles per hour:

  d/2 -d/2.25 = 5

  2.25d -2d = 5(4.50) . . . . . multiply by 4.50

  0.25d = 22.5 . . . . . . . . . . .simplify

  d = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4

Grandma's house is 90 miles away.
