Question

Marcus spent 10 hours doing his homework last week.This week he spent 11 hours doing homework homework.He says he spent 110% more time doing his homework this week . Is he correct

Answer 1

Yes because 100 percent is 10 hrs so 1 more hr is 110 percent. And if u try to put it in a equation it will be 110%

Answer 2

Yes, he is correct. The mathematical way to prove this is by looking at the two numbers and saying that the real question is what percent of 10 is 11. In order to do so, we must first do 11/10, which gives us 1.1. Finally, we have to multiply 1.1 x 100, which gives us a final answer of 110%.

Hope this helps!
