Question

Jacob is on a road trip. So far he has traveled 29.1% of the trip. If the trip is a total of 433 miles, how many miles has he traveled? How many miles does he left to go?

Answer 1

Given:

The total distance of the trip is, d = 433 miles.

The percentage of trip travelled is, t = 29.1%.

The objective is to find the travelled distance and the remaining distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The travelled distance can be calculated as,

`\begin{gathered} t_d=(t)/(100)* d \\ t_d=(29.1)/(100)*433 \\ t_d\approx126\text{ miles} \end{gathered}`

To find remaining distance:

The remaining distance can be calculated as,

`\begin{gathered} r_d=d-t_d \\ =433-126 \\ =307\text{ miles} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the travelled distance is 126 miles and the remaining distance is 307 miles.
