Question

Han spent 75 minutes practicing the piano over the weekend. Priya practiced the violin for 152% as much as Han practiced the piano. How long did she practice

Answer 1

Priya practiced the violin for 114 minutes

Solution:

Given that

Han spent 75 minutes practicing the piano over the weekend

Priya practiced the violin for 152% as much as Han practiced the piano

Need to determine how long did priya practice

Duration of Han practicing the piano over weekend = 75 minutes

As given that Priya practiced the violin for 152% as much as Han practiced the piano

=> Duration of Priya practicing the piano = 152% of Han practicing the piano

=> Duration of Priya practicing the piano = 152% of 75 minutes

We know that a % of b is written in fraction as
`(a)/(100) * b`

`\Rightarrow \text { Duration of Priya practicing the piano }=(152)/(100) * 75=114 \text { minutes }`

Hence Priya practiced the violin for 114 minutes
