Multiply the total mile trip by the percentage in decimal form (divided by 100)

85% / 100 = 0.85

For the 900 mile trip:

900 x 0.85 = 765

Riley flew 765 miles out of a total 900-mile trip.

So, the first 2 options are False

For a 1200 mile trip:

1200 x 0.85 = 1020

Riley flew 1020 miles out of total 1200 mile trip.
