Question

After learning how to fly, wendy reduced her daily commute time by 75%, percent. Previously, her commute took m minutes.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}m$

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose m represents 100% of the time it took for wendy to travel

if she reduces her travel time by 75%, to find the amount of time she currently takes we subtract the original time minus the time saved to find the time she is currently traveling

$100-75=25$

let's assume that 100 is equal to 1 now to find out how much 25 equals we apply a simple rule of three

$100 \longrightarrow 1\\25 \longrightarrow x\\x=\frac{25}{100} \\x= \frac{1}{4}$

Then 25% of the time (which is what she now takes to travel) is equivalent to 1/4 of the original time it took

then if it took m minutes now it will take  $\frac{1}{4} m$

Answer 2

Suppose Wendy has to travel from A to B.

Starting  commute time = m minutes

Wendy started learning  flying i.e other way of commuting

it reduces her commute time by 75%

   A.T.Q

now the new time i.e less time taken by Wendy to commute from A to B=

      = m-75%of m

     =  m- $\frac{75\times m}{100}$

     =  $\frac{25\times m}{100}$

     =  m/4 Minutes

So,New commuting time for Wendy = m/4 Minutes
