Question

A traveler drove 150 miles on Thursday. He went 12% further on Friday. What was his total mileage for the two days?

Answer 1

Answer: 318 miles

Explanation:

150 divided by 10 is 15, so 10% = 15

150 divided by 100 is 1.5, so 1% is 1.5

x2, so 2% is 3.

That means 15 + 3 = 12%, so 12% = 18.

150 = Thursday

150 + 18 = Friday

150 + 150 + 18 = 318 miles
