Answer:
240 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this we need to write an equation. For this problem let d be the distance traveled. We know that the new train (being much more modern than poor old Thomas who is long retired) can go 20% further. To show this we will take 20% of 200 and then add that to the original distance.
Our equation would look something like this:
d=200+(20%·200)
[one more little note: to find percentage take your percent and convert it into a decimal 20%=0.2)
d=200+(0.2·200)
d=200+40
d=240
