Question

Roger just ran 5 laps. He is at 20% of his goal.

Answer 1

Answer: 20 laps

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Roger just ran 5 laps and completes 20% of his goal

Suppose his goal is x laps

So, 20% of x must be equal to 5

$\Rightarrow 20\%\times x=5\\\Rightarrow 0.2x=5\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{5}{0.2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{50}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=25\ \text{laps}$

So, he needs 20 more laps to complete his goal.
