What percent of his time exercising after school did Joel spend playing soccer on Tuesday?

Answer 1

Joel spent 72.5% of his time exercising after playing soccer on Tuesda

How to determine the percentage?

The given parameters are

Minutes spent on Tuesday = 27 more minutes than Monday

Total minutes spend = 60

This means that

Tuesday = Monday + 27

Monday + Tuesday = 60

Make Monday the subject in Tuesday = Monday + 27

Monday = Tuesday - 27

Substitute Monday = Tuesday - 27 in Monday + Tuesday = 60

Tuesday - 27 + Tuesday = 60

Evaluate

2 * Tuesday = 87

Divide by 2

Tuesday = 43.5

The percentage of time spent exercising on Tuesday is then calculated as

Percentage = 43.5/60 * 100%

Evaluate the expression

Percentage = 72.5%

Hence, Joel spent 72.5% of his time exercising after playing soccer on Tuesday
