A man travelled 60 km by car and 240 km by train. Find what per cent of total journey did he travel by car and what per cent by train?

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given, distance covered by car = 60km and

Distance covered by train = 240km

⇒ Total journey = 60 + 240 = 300km

⇒ Let x% of total journey is travelled by car

⇒ x% of 300 = 60

⇒ = 60

⇒ x = 20%

⇒ Let y% of total journey is travelled by train

⇒ y% of 300 = 240

⇒ = 240

⇒ y = 80%

Hence, 20% distance travelled by car and 80% distance travelled by train.
