Question

A man travelled 80 km by car and 320 km by train to reach his destination. Find what percent of total journey did he travel by car and what per cent by train?

Answer 1

Distance travelled by car = 80 km. 

Distance travelled by train = 320 km 

Total distance = 80 + 320 km 

= 400 km 

Percentage of distance travelled by car = \(\frac{800}{400}\) x 100 % 

= 20 % 

Percentage of distance travelled by train = \(\frac{320}{800}\) x 100 % 

= 40 %
