race drivers must complete 200 laps in the Daytona 500. If Ricky Bobby only completed 57% of the race, how many laps did he complete?

Respuesta :

We can set up a proportion to figure out how many laps out of 200 laps is 57% out of 100%

[tex] \frac{x}{200} = \frac{57}{100} [/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]100x = 57(200)[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{57(200)}{100} [/tex]

[tex]x = 2(57) = 114[/tex]

The answer is 114 laps.

200 x 0.57 = 114 laps completed
