Answer: NO. He had an increase of 25%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percentage increase, use the following formula where New (this week) = 25 and Original (last week) = 20.
[tex]\% Change=\dfrac{\text{New - Original}}{\text{Original}}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\dfrac{25-20}{20}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\dfrac{5}{20}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\dfrac{1}{4}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad =0.25[/tex]
Convert the decimal into percentage by moving the decimal point two places to the right. 0.25 = 25%
Evan spent 25% more time this week than last week.
It can also be stated that this week Evan did 125% of homework compared to last week.
If Even spent 125% more than last week, he would have spent 100% (20 hours) + 25% (4 hours) = 24 hours.
