Question

A car is 180 inches long. A truck is 75% longer than the car. How long is the truck? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answer 1

315 inches long

Explanation:

180 x .75= 135 <--- that is 75% of 180

then add the two numbers

180 + 135

you add them because the original length of the car is 180 inches and the truck is 75% longer.

180 + 135= 315
