Question

Bob travels from Inglewood to anytown; a distance of 20 km.

He walks 800 meters and cycles the rest of the way.
What percentage of the journey does he travel by bicycle?

Answer 1

Total Distance = 20km = 20 × 1000 = 20,000 m

Distance walked = 800m

Distance travelled by cycle = 20,000 - 800 = 19,200m

Percentage of journey by cycle = (distance travelled by cycle ÷ total distance) × 100

Percentage of journey by cycle = (19200 / 20000) * 100

Percentage of journey by cycle = 96%
