Question

jan has ridden 357 miles of the tour de france bicycle rave and is 17 % finished with the race. what is the total length of the race?

Answer 1

2100 miles

Explanation:

Remark

357 is on one side of the equation all by itself. It represents 17% of the total distance. The 17% is on the other side of the equation.

Equation

17% * x = 357 Change the 17% to 17 / 100

17/100 * x = 357 Multiply both sides by 100

Solution

17x = 357 * 100

17x = 35700 Divide by 17

x = 35700 / 17

x = 2100 miles.
