Given:

Total Distance = 95 miles

Distance travelled = 76 miles

Determine the percentage of the course.

Solution:

In order to determine the percentage of the course, simply divide the distance travelled by the total distance.

= 76 / 95

= 0.8

Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.

= 0.8 (100)

= 80%

Henry has ridden 80% of the course.
