Taylor's family took a road trip to Mount Rushmore. Taylor slept through the last 21% of the trip. If Taylor fell asleep after they had travelled 711 miles, what was the total length of the trip?

Respuesta :

The total length of the trip is the number of miles in the trip

The total length of the trip is 974 miles

How to determine the total length?

The given parameters are:

  • Proportion of sleep = 21%
  • Distance awake = 711 miles

If Taylor sleeps for 21% of the trip, then Taylor was awake for 79% of the trip

Represent the total length of the trip with T.

So, we have:

73% * T = 711 miles

Divide both sides by 73%

T = 974 miles

Hence, the total length of the trip is 974 miles
