Question

Kasey is trying to run a certain number of miles by the end of the month. If Kasey is 60% of the way to achieving her goal and she has already run 24 miles, how many miles is she trying to run by the end of the month?

Answer 1

40 miles

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the total distance to be covered by Kasey by the end of the month be x

Required is x

so

60% of x= 24

60/100*x= 24

0.6x= 24

divide both sides by 0.6

x= 24/0.6

x=40 miles
