Let the total distance be x
According to the question,
60% of x is 192
So 60/100*x= 192
X= 192*100/60
X= 320
So total distance= 320km
Now distance from initial point=40/100*320= 128km
ALTERNATIVE METHOD
40/100*x= x-192
4x/10=x- 192
So, 192= x- 4x/10
192= 10x-4x/10
192= 6x/10
1920= 6x
320= x
So distance from initial point= 320-192= 128
According to the question,
60% of x is 192
So 60/100*x= 192
X= 192*100/60
X= 320
So total distance= 320km
Now distance from initial point=40/100*320= 128km
ALTERNATIVE METHOD
40/100*x= x-192
4x/10=x- 192
So, 192= x- 4x/10
192= 10x-4x/10
192= 6x/10
1920= 6x
320= x
So distance from initial point= 320-192= 128
