Mr. martin drove 290 miles last week this week he drove 125 miles more than last week. how many miles did mr. martin drive this week?

Mr. Martin drove 415 miles this week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says Mr. Martin drove 125 miles more than last week. How many miles did Mr. Martin drive this week?

How many miles did he drive last week?

Remember: 290 miles is the miles he drove last week.

The problem says he drove 125 miles AND 290 miles this week. So you take the SUM of them to see how many miles he drove together.

290 + 125 = 415

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.

answer: 70 is the answer cause if you add all of them together its 70

if you times it is 1,437,696 dogs that is if you times it
