Question

The average distance that Ben and Ting drove was 153 kilometres. If Ben drove 24 kilometres more than Tina, what was the distance that Tina drove?​

Answer 1

Answer:

65 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance drove by Tina be "x km".

Then, distance drove by Ben will be " x + 24 km".

The average distance drove by Ben and Tina = 154 km

=> x + x + 24 = 154 km

=> 2x = 154 - 24

Therefore, x = 130/2

= 65 km

So, the distance drove by Tina = 65 km.
