Question

The Martinez Family has driven 240 miles so far. Their total trip is 300 miles. What percentage of the trip have they already driven?

Answer 1

80%

Explanation:

Percentage of the trip covered =
`(miles driven )/(total miles)` × 100

I am multiplying by 100 because to convert to percentage, we have to multiply by 100

Miles drive = 240

Total miles = 300

`(240)/(300)` × 100 = 80%
