Continuing the same scenario, if you are at mile 100 and the fuel stop is at 324, what are the miles remaining to the fuel stop?

• A. 100
• B. 224
• C. 324
• D. 424

Answer: (B)

To find how far you still have to go to a future mile marker, subtract your current mileage from the destination’s mileage. Here, the fuel stop is at three hundred twenty-four miles and you’re at one hundred miles. Subtracting one hundred from three hundred twenty-four gives two hundred twenty-four miles. So you have two hundred twenty-four miles remaining to reach the fuel stop.
