Hey ya'll, my assignment asked me.....Evan spent 20 hours doing homework last week. This week he spent 25 hours doing homework.
He says that he spent 125% more time doing homework this week. Is he correct? Show your work to justify your decision. Then, i answered with: To find a percentage you just have to put the percent in decimal form then you multiply. 125% = 125/100 125% = 125/100 = 1.25 By doing this, we get 1.25, which is the same as 125% in decimal form. Therefore, Evan was correct. He spent 125% more time doing homework this week. IS THAT CORRECT
Evan spent 20 hours doing homework last week. This week he spent 25 hours doing homework. He says that he spent 125% more time doing homework this week. Is he correct? Show your work to justify your decision.
We know that 125% of 20 hours (last week) = 25 hours, so Even IS correct.
Note that Increase or Decrease is relative to the ORIGINAL value, in this case is 20 hours.
