Answer 2

The trip is 50miles far

Explanation:

If they have travel 15miles which is equal to 30% of the trip.

To find how far the trip is.

Let x represent the trip in miles

Therefore:

30% of x is 15miles

30/100 * x = 15miles

x = 15 miles ÷ 30/100

x = 15 miles * 100/30

x = 1500miles/30

x = 50miles
