Evan is not correct. While 25 is 125% of 20, it was <em>not</em> 125% more. That would be adding on to the 100% already there, for a total of 225%. It's actually only 25% more because of this.

Answer:

Evan is not correct, because it seems like he thought 25 is 125% of 20. He did not spend 125% more time doing homework this week because it was like he added an extra 100% from his 25 hours of homework he did. Because of this 100% increase, the correct answer is actually 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS 25%
