To find the percentage of the total trip that Jai's family had traveled when he fell asleep, we can use the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Total distance}} \right) \times 100
\]
In this case, the distance travelled when Jai fell asleep is 259259 miles, and the total distance of the trip is 740740 miles. Plugging these values into the formula gives us:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{259259}{740740} \right) \times 100
\]
Now, we calculate the fraction:
\[
\frac{259259}{740740} = 0.3500
\]
Next, we convert this into a percentage by multiplying by 100:
\[
0.3500 \times 100 = 35.00\%
\]
Thus, the percentage of the total trip that had been traveled when Jai fell asleep is:
\[
\boxed{35}
\]
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Total distance}} \right) \times 100
\]
