Question

Adam currently runs about 40 miles per week, and he wants to increase his weekly mileage by 30%. How many miles will Adam run per week? He will run miles per week.

Answer 1

Answer:

52 miles/week (12 more miles per week)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know the miles per week with this increasement, we'll use the rule of 3, assuming that 40 miles is the 100% innitially so:

If:

40 miles --------->100%

X miles ----------> 30%

Solving for X we have the following:

X = 30 * 40 / 100 = 12 miles

So, if Adam wants to increase his weekly mileage by 30%, he needs to run 12 more miles, and that makes a total of 52 miles/week
