On dry, level pavement, with decent tires? About 120 feet. Many things affect this calculation. With worn tires the distance can increase to 210 feet. Dirt roads require longer braking distances than pavement. Ice can increase the braking distance by hundreds of feet. Braking down a hill, depending upon the slope, can double the braking distance, whereas braking up hill can halve that distance. If you lock the tires, you typically increase the braking distance. You can reduce the distance by pumping the brakes. Anti-lock brakes allow the tires to slip, which decreases the braking distance. Extra weight in the vehicle increases the braking distance.

Refer to the link below for calculating the braking distance at different speeds with different tire wear on dry, level pavement.
