Question

Mr.Green went for a trip. Twenty percent of his trip he traveled on the bus. How long was Mr.Green's trip, if he covered by bus 15 miles?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mr.Green travelled twenty percent of his trip he traveled on the bus.

he covered 15 miles by bus

15 × 20 / 100 = 3× 20/20

= 3 × 1 = 3 miles

15+3 = 18 miles

therefore,Mr.Green's trip was 18 miles long and he travelled 15miles by bus...

Answer 2

75miles=120.7km

Mr. Green covered 20% of total trip by bus

that is 15miles

But the total trip is 100% so we have to calculate what is 100%.

20%=15miles

then,

20%×5=15×5miles

100%=75miles

So,

Total trip=75miles. (1mile=1.609km)

75miles=120.7km
