Victoria's family took a road trip to Mount Rushmore. Victoria fell asleep 87% of the way through the trip. If Victoria fell asleep after they had travel 261 miles, what was the total length of the trip?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total length of the trip = 300 miles

Explanations:

Distance they had travelled before Victoria fell asleep = 261 miles

The percentage of the total distance they had travelled before Victoria fell asleep = 87%

Let the total length of the trip be represented as L

Distance traveled before Victoria fell asleep = 87% of L

261 = (87/100) x L

261 = 0.87 L

L = 261/0.87

L = 300

The total length of the trip = 300 miles
