I never was any good with word problems.

Truck odometer reads 372,000
Original engine (A) removed at 175,000 mi.
Engine (B) installed with 100,000 mi. of use on it

How many miles are now on engine B?

Why would you install a 100K engine?

I didn’t. I bought it that way. It’s a 5.3 and still runs well.

297k seems high. Can somebody show their work? Lol
