Question

(04.05)Marcus spent 10 hours doing his homework last week. This week he spent 11 hours doing homework. He says that he spent 110% more time doing homework this week. Is he correct? Show your work to justify your decision.

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

No he is not correct because,

11 - 10 = 1

So he spent 1 more hour this week. So.....

1/10 x 100 = 10% more which is not 110%.

Hope this helps :)

Have an Awesome day! ;)

Answer 2

yes he is correct, 100% would be 10 hours again, so 110% would add the extra hour to make it 11 hours
