Thomas walked his dog for 30 minutes today ---- 15 more minutes than yesterday. Express as a percent his walking time today compared to his walking time yesterday. Round to the nearest percent.
125
126
150
124
It’s 125%
so, yesterday he walked 15 minutes
30 is 100% more than 15
So none of the choices is correct.
His total walking time for the two days: 45 minutes
is 50% more than today's time (30 min), making it 150% as much
I suspect a typo somewhere in the question.
Is it 150
Ok thank you
To find the percentage, we need to calculate the difference in walking time today and yesterday and express it as a percentage of the walking time yesterday.
Given that Thomas walked his dog for 30 minutes today, which is 15 more minutes than yesterday, we can calculate his walking time yesterday by subtracting 15 minutes from today's time:
Walking time yesterday = 30 minutes - 15 minutes = 15 minutes
Now, let's find the percentage by taking the ratio of today's walking time to yesterday's walking time and multiplying it by 100:
Percentage = (Walking time today / Walking time yesterday) * 100
Percentage = (30 minutes / 15 minutes) * 100
Percentage = 2 * 100
Percentage = 200
So, Thomas walked his dog today for 200% of his walking time yesterday.
Since we need to round to the nearest percent, the answer is 200% rounded to the nearest percent, which is 200.
Therefore, the correct answer is 200.
