Casey · Answer 1

So 55% is really 55/100

You take 100 - 55 to find how much Mr. Williams drove

100 - 55 = 45

So Mr. Williams drove 45/100 of the miles

Simplified is 9/20 of the miles

Selena · Answer 2

That answer is wrong. You multiply 380 by 55 (55%) and get 209. So you subtract 209 from 380 and get 171 and to find the decimal you divide 380 over 209 and get. 55 which can be 55/100 then you simplify it to 11/20
