Question

1 on a weekend, priya walked 10 km and tyler walked 8 km.
a. what percentage of priya’s distance did tyler walk?
b. what percentage of tyler’s distance did priya walk?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate percentage for part a

To find what percentage of Priya's distance Tyler walked, use the formula \(\frac{\text{Tyler's distance}}{\text{Priya's distance}}\times100\%\).
\(\frac{8}{10}\times100\% = 0.8\times100\%=80\%\)

Step2: Calculate percentage for part b

To find what percentage of Tyler's distance Priya walked, use the formula \(\frac{\text{Priya's distance}}{\text{Tyler's distance}}\times100\%\).
\(\frac{10}{8}\times100\%=\frac{5}{4}\times 100\% = 1.25\times100\% = 125\%\)

Answer:

a. \(80\%\)
b. \(125\%\)
