Eliud was running 125 miles per week. Now, he’s running 20% more miles per week.

b) How many miles is Eliud running per week? Write and solve an equation to determine how many miles Eliud is now running per week, r.

Answer 1

125 miles per week

Explanation:

He is running: 100 x (100 + 20)% = 100 x 120% = 100 x 6/5 = 125 miles
He is running 125 miles per week

=> r = 125 miles
