To find the distance between her home and her latest position:
According to the question, the diagram is,
Consider the right triangle,
AB=120 km
BC=50 km
To find AC:
Using Pythagoras theorem,
Hence, the distance between the new position and her home is 130 km.
Solution
- 89 gallons contains 40 gallons twice such that:
- This means that we can find at least 200% of 40 gallons in 89 gallons. This gives us what to expect.
- To get the percentage we are looking for, we should use the formula:
New, in this case, is 89 gallons, Old is 40 gallons.
- Thus, we can calculate the percentage as follows:
Thus, the answer is 222.5%
