Justin jogged for four days in a row. He jogged 2 miles the first day. On the second day, he jogged 75% of the distance he jogged the first day. On the third day, he jogged 1.5 miles more than the distance he jogged the first day. If Justin jogged a total distance of 9.25 miles, how many miles did he jog on the fourth day?

Answer:

2.75 miles jogged on the fourth day

Step-by-step explanation:

Justin jogged 2 miles on the first day.

On the second day he jogged 75% of 2 miles. To find 75% of 2 miles we need to divide by 100 and multiply by 75.

2 / 100 = 0.02 x 75 = 1.5 miles jogged on the second day. (3.5 miles jogged in total so far)

On the third day he jogged 1.5 miles more than the last day:

1.5 + 1.5 = 3 (6.5 miles jogged so far)

9.25 total miles were jogged, meaning that we will need to subtract 6.5 from 9.25 to get the answer:

9.25 - 6.5 = 2.75 miles jogged on the fourth day
