Question

Jayden's family took a road trip to the Grand Canyon. Jayden fell asleep 15% of the way through the trip if the total length of the trip was 1000 miles, how many miles had they travelled when Jayden fell asleep?

Answer 1

150 miles

Explanation:

We are told that Jayden slept 15% of the way through the trip.

We are also told that the trip was 1000 miles long.

All we have to do is find 15% of 1000 miles to find when Jayden fell asleep. 15% of 1000 miles is:

`(15)/(100) * 1000` = 150 miles

Hence, Jayden fell asleep after they had traveled 150 miles.
