Sarah is trying to run a certain number of miles by the end of the month. If Sarah is 80% of the way to achieving her goal and she has already run 40 miles, how many miles is she trying to run by the end of the month?

50 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the miles that she is trying to run by the end of the month be denoted by x.

Since she is 80% of the way to achieving her goal and she has already run 40 miles. This can be expressed as:

80% of x = 40

80/100 × x = 40

0.8x = 40

x = 40/0.8

x = 50

The miles that she is trying to run by the end of the month is 50 miles.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
