Question

Out of a daily 2km journey to school john has to walk 500m to get to his means of transport .Calculate the percentage of the journey he has to ride

Answer 1

75%

Explanation:

(Distance he would ride the bus / total distance ) x 100

Convert 2 km to meters

1km = 1000 meters

2km = 1000 x 2 = 2000 meters

Distance he would ride the bus = 2000 - 500 = 1500

(1500 / 2000) x 100 = 75%
