Question

If a museum is 40 miles away from the school, and the first stop is after 12 miles, second stop is after 26 miles from the starting point, then find the percentage of distance left to be covered after second stop?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

total distance = 40 miles

first stop = 12 mile

second stop = 26 mile

third stop = total distance - first stop + second stop

               = 40 - 12+ 26

                 = 40 - 38

                 = 2

distance covered after second stop = 2 miles

Answer 2

Answer:

Percentage of remaining distance = 35%

Step by step explanation;

In Context to the question given;
We have to find the percentage of distance left to museum after the second stop;

Given;

Total Miles to be covered = 40

First stop = 12 miles

Second Stop from the starting point = 26miles

Therefore;

Remaining miles to be covered after second stop = Total miles - Second Stop from the starting point


Remaining miles to be covered after second stop = 40 -26 = 14 miles

We have to fine the percentage

Therefore;

Percentage of remaining distance = (Remaining miles / Total miles )x 100

=(14/40) x 100
= 0.35 x 100
= 35%

Percentage of remaining distance = 35%
