Hi i'd be glad to help you with this equation.

basically all we have to do is find (65%) of 455*.

65% of 455* = 295.75

Next.

455 + 295.75 = 750.75

So, to check my work I have 750.75 miles in total.

I have already driven 455 miles of 750.75 miles.

Using subtraction we subtract our distance from our total.

750.75 - 455 = 295.75

So, in total your answer to this problem is (295.75)

Hope this helps.
Have a great day!
