Thomas walks his dog for 15 minutes today---5 more time than yesterday. Express as a percent his walking time today compared to his walking time yesterday. Round to the nearest percent. My answer choices: A: 125% B:200% C: 133% D: 150%

Respuesta :

The answer is B I think

Option C: 133%. Thomas' walking time today was 133% more than his walking time yesterday.

Given that:

Yesterday's walking time  was 15 minutes

Today's walking time = 5 minutes + Yesterday's walking time = 5 + 15 = 20 minutes.

Percentage of his walking time today compared to his walking time yesterday can be calculated as:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \text{percent needed} &= \dfrac{\text{Time taken today} \times 100}{\text{time taken yesterday}}\%\\&= \dfrac{20 \times 100}{15}\%\\&= \dfrac{400}{3}\%\\&= 133.333...\%\\&\approx 133\%\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Thus, in total, Thomas' walking time today was 133% more than his walking time yesterday.

Thus, option C: 133% is correct.
