Answer:

20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = total number of miles she wish to run the end of this month

If Carrie is 55% of the way to achieving her goal and she has already run 11 miles

55% of her total miles = 11 miles

55% of x = 11 miles

55/100 * x = 11 miles

0.55x = 11

Divide both sides by 0.55

x = 11 / 0.55

= 20

x = 20 miles

x = total number of miles she wish to run the end of this month = 20 miles

She is trying to run 20 miles by the end of this month
