Question

a motorist travelled 122 km before his first stop. If he had 10% to complete at his stop, what is his total ride?

Answer 1

Let his total ride be xkm 
Acc. to the question a motorist has travelled 122km before his first stop now he had 10% to complete his stop   therefore his left over journey
   = x + 10% of x =122km= 110.90km(approx)
his total ride(or journey) =122+110.90km=232.90=233km.

Answer 2

The total distance of the ride was 1220 km.

• The distance travelled by the motorist before his first stop .
• Distance completed at his first stop = 10%.
• We have to find the total distance of the motorist that he had to travel.
• Let the total distance travelled by the motorist be x.

10% of x is equal to 122 km

$\frac{10}{100}$ × x = 122

x = $\frac{100}{10}$ × 122

x = 1220 km

• Total distance that the motorist has to travel is 1220 km.
