Question 808815: joe is sitting at the base of mount everest. he climbs 20% of the remaining height each day. how far does he climb in 5 days? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
If he climbs 20% of the remaining distance on a given day, then he has 80% of the remaining distance to go at the end of that day. Hence, the distance climbed is the total distance minus the amount he has remaining.
Where is the total height to be climbed and is the height climbed.
