Question

From the beginning of cross country season to the end , Trisha reduced her time by 17 % , Anchara reduced hers by 4/25 , and Juanita reduced hers from 16:00 to 13:30 . Who reduced their time by the greatest percent ?

Answer 1

Trisha - 17 percent
Anchara - 4/25 = 0.16 = 16 percent
Juanita - 16 - 13.3 = 2.7   2.7/16 (since 16 is the total) = 0.16875 = 16.875 percent

So Trisha reduced her time by the greatest percent (17)
