Abena travelled 40% of the distance of her trip alone, went another 35 miles with Saralyn,

and then finished the last half of the journey alone. How many miles long was the journey?

350 miles long.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we analyze the breakdown of the journey

Abena travelled 40% of the distance of her trip alone. She went 35 miles with Saralyn. She finished the last half (50%) of the journey alone.

Let the total distance of the journey = x

Therefore:

10% of the total distance of the journey = 35 miles

10% of x=35

0.1x=35

Divide both sides by 0.1

x-350 miles

Therefore, the journey was 350 miles long.

The journey was 350 miles long

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Distance traveled by Abena alone = 40% and the last half

∴ Distance traveled by Abena alone = 40% + 50% = 90%

Distance Abena traveled with Saralyn = 35 miles = 100% - 90% = 10%

Hence 10% of Abena's journey = 35 miles

The total distance of Abena's journey therefore, is given as follows

10% = 35 miles

Total distance of Abena's journey = 100% of Abena's journey = 10 * 10%

10 * 10% = 10 * 35 miles = 350 miles

The total distance of Abena's journey = 350 miles.
