A car is 180 inches long. a truck is 75% longer than a car. how long is the truck select a correct choice.135 inches 240 inches255 inches 315 inches

Answer 1

First let's calculate how much is 75% of 180:

$75\text{\% of }180=0.75\cdot180=135$

Then, we just need to add this extra length to the length of the car, so we have:

$180+135=315$

So the length of the truck is 315 inches, therefore the correct option is the fourth one.
