Here, we are asked to calculate the percentage of a trip that has been completed by Leigh.
Firstly, we identify the total length of the trip, this is 1470km. She stopped 370km from her destination. The length of the distance traveled is 1470km - 370km = 1100km
Now we proceed to calculate what percentage of the journey is this.
We calculate this by placing it over the total length multiplied by 100%
This is the case because we are first subtracting the value of the two numbers from each other. Then we're taking the absolute value so we can find distance, which is always expressed in a positive number.
