Gravel covers 66 ft of a path. This distance represents 55% of the length of the path.



What is the length of the path?



I'm probably dumb, but I COULD NOT figure this out!

Verified Answer :

120 feet, because i know

Answer:

The length of the path is \(120\ ft\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the path

we know that

\(55\%=\frac{55}{100}=0.55\)

\(0.55x=66\) -----> linear equation that represent the situation

solve for x

Divide by \(0.55\) both sides

\(0.55x/0.55=66/0.55\)

\(x=120\ ft\)
