Question

Mr Smith is on a road trip from Cleveland to Chicago. He is 65% of the way there , and has already driven 455 miles. How many more miles does he have left.

Answer 1

Hi i'd be glad to help you with this equation. 

basically all we have to do is find (65%) of 455*. 

65% of 455* = 295.75 

Next. 

455 + 295.75 = 750.75 

So, to check my work I have 750.75 miles in total. 

I have already driven 455 miles of 750.75 miles. 

Using subtraction we subtract our distance from our total. 

750.75 - 455 = 295.75 

So, in total your answer to this problem is (295.75) 

Hope this helps. 
Have a great day!
