Question

Rob ran 27.2 miles less than Jasmine last week. Rob ran 10 miles. How many miles did Jasmine run?

Answer 1

Jasmine ran last week 37.2 miles

Explanation:

Let

x ----> number of miles Rob ran last week

y ----> number of miles Jasmine ran last week

we know that

x=y-27.2 ----> equation A

x=10 ----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

10=y-27.2

y=10+27.2

y=37.2 miles
