    240 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To solve this we need to write an equation. For this problem let d be the distance traveled. We know that the new train (being much more modern than poor old Thomas who is long retired) can go 20% further. To show this we will take 20% of 200 and then add that to the original distance.

    Our equation would look something like this:

    d=200 + (20%·200)

    [one more little note: to find percentage take your percent and convert it into a decimal 20%=0.2)

    d=200 + (0.2·200)

    d=200+40

    d=240
