Question

A picnic spot is $55$km away from a school. The first stop is taken at $22$km from the school. What percentage of the distance is remaining to reach the destination?

• A. 40%
• B. 80%
• C. 20%
• D. 60%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 60%

Distance of the picnic spot from the school $=55$km
Distance travelled before taking first stop $=22$km

Remaining distance $=55-22=33$km

Therefore, percentage of distance remaining is $\frac{33}{55}\times 100=60\%$.
