Question

Blake's family took a road trip to Mount Rushmore. Blake fell asleep after they had travelled 702 miles. If the total length of the trip was 900 miles, what percentage of the total trip had they travelled when Blake fell asleep?

Answer 1

Given :

⊕   Blake fell asleep after they had travelled 702 miles

⊕   Total length of the trip : 900 miles

$\implies:$  Distance travelled by Blake's family after he fell asleep : (900 - 702)

$\implies:$  Distance travelled by Blake's family after he fell asleep : 198 miles

% of total trip Blake's family travelled after he fell asleep :

$\implies \ \ \dfrac{\textsf{Distance travelled by Blake's family after he fell asleep}}{\textsf{Total Length of the Trip}} \ \times \sf{100}$

$\sf{\implies \ \ \dfrac{198}{900} \ \times 100}$

$\sf{\implies \ \ \dfrac{198}{9}}$

$\sf{\implies \ \ 22\%}$
