james took a 3 - hour bike ride . in the second hour he travlled 24 miles , which was 20 percent farther than he traveled the first hour . if he traveled 25 percent farther in the third hour than he did in the second hour , how many miles did jose travel during the entire ride ?
"let the distance travelled in the first hour be x . thus , 1.2 x = 24 , x = 20 . now , the distance travelled in the 3 rd hour = 24 + 1 / 4 â ˆ — 24 = 30 . = 24 + 20 + 30 = 74 answer : a"
add(add(divide(multiply(multiply(const_1, const_100), 24), add(multiply(const_1, const_100), 20)), divide(multiply(25, 24), 20)), 24)
