An airplane traveled from Boston to Las Vegas making a stop in St.Louis. The plane traveled 2410 miles altogether, which is 230% of the distance from Boston to St.Louis. Find the distance from Boston to the nearest mile.

Call the distance from Boston to St. Louis "B". Express the 230% as its decimal equivalent of 2.3. The equation is:

2410 = 2.3 * B {total trip is 230% of Boston to St. Louis distance]

Divide both sides by 2.3:

B = 2410 / 2.3 = 1047.8 (rounded) which rounds to 1048 miles
