Paige: I can't believe the workload in high school! Take math...in junior high I spent five minutes on my homework! This year I'm spending a good half-hour! That's a 600 percent increase! Andy: 600?? Paige: 700 percent increase? 400 percent? 1000 percent? 333 percent? OK, I give up. What's the answer? Andy: "Not enough."
500%. Since the original time was five minutes, for every five minutes added you add on another 100%. Therefore…
10 mins = 100% increase 15 mins = 200% increase 20 mins = 300% increase 25 mins = 400% increase 30 mins = 500% increase
It’s really very simple… And I can say that because Math was my worst subject. :P
