Question

Harley is on a trip with her dad. Her dad tells her that they traveled 182.6 miles and they are 83% of the way to their destination. How many miles long is their trip?

Answer 1

182.6 miles ... 83%
x miles ... 100%

We would like to know how many miles long is their trip (x miles). You can calculate this in the following way:

x * 83% = 182.6 * 100%
x * 83/100 = 182.6 * 100/100
x = 182.6 * 100/83
x = 220 miles

The result is 220 miles.
