Hi!

Avery drove 30 miles and that represents 25% of his trip To find the total number of miles in Avery's trip, we will use proportions, like this:

30 miles___________25% = 0,25

x miles ____________100% = 1

x = (30*1)/0,25

x = 30/0,25

x = 120

The answer is: The total number of miles in Avery's trip is 120 miles.

Hope this helps!
