Question

Carrie is driving to a friend’s house for the weekend. The friend lives in a town 160 mi. away. So far, Carrie has driven 64 mi. What percent of the drive does she have left?

Answer 1

Divide the amount she drove by the total amount she needs to drive, them multiply that answer by 100 to make it a percent. This will give you the percentage she drove. To find the percentage she has left,, subtract from 100%.

64 / 160 = 0.4

0.4 * 100 = 40%  (  percent she has already driven)

100% - 40% = 60% left.
