A new train goes 20% farther than an older train in the same amount of time. During the time it takes the older train to go 300 miles, how many miles can the newer train complete?

Distance covered by New train = distance covered by old train+20% of distance covered by old train

Or, Distance covered by New train =300 miles+20% of 300miles.

                    = 300 miles +( 20/100)×300

                    = 300 miles +20×3 miles

                   = 300 miles+60miles

                 = 360 miles. Ans.
