Taylor's family took a road trip to Mount Rushmore. Taylor slept through the last 21% of the trip. If Taylor fell asleep after they had travelled 711 miles, what was the total length of the trip?

100-21= 79
711=79%
711/1=79/100
711/79=9
9x100=900

the trip was 900 miles all together. you can check if your answer is right by multiplying 900 by 0.79. If it comes out to 711, you are right.
