Jacob is on a road trip. So far he has traveled 29.1% of the trip. If the trip is a total of 433 miles, how many miles has he traveled? How many miles does he left to go?

Respuesta :

Given:

The total distance of the trip is, d = 433 miles.

The percentage of trip travelled is, t = 29.1%.

The objective is to find the travelled distance and the remaining distance.

Explanation:

The travelled distance can be calculated as,

[tex]\begin{gathered} t_d=\frac{t}{100}\times d \\ t_d=\frac{29.1}{100}\times433 \\ t_d\approx126\text{ miles} \end{gathered}[/tex]

To find remaining distance:

The remaining distance can be calculated as,

[tex]\begin{gathered} r_d=d-t_d \\ =433-126 \\ =307\text{ miles} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the travelled distance is 126 miles and the remaining distance is 307 miles.
