15% of Alina’s workout consisted of cardio exercise. 25% of Dane’s workout consisted of cardio exercise. Which statement must be true?

If they worked out for the same amount of time, Dane did 10 more minutes of cardio exercise than Alina.


If Alina’s workout was 80 minutes, and Dane’s workout was 48 minutes, they spent the same amount of time on cardio exercise.


If both workouts were 60 minutes, Dane spent 8 more minutes on cardio exercise than Alina did.


Alina spent less time on cardio exercise than Dane did.


Sagot :


The correct answer is B. If Alina’s workout was 80 minutes, and Dane’s workout was 48 minutes, they spent the same amount of time on cardio exercise.

To figure this out, first find 15% of 80 and then 25% of 48.

To find 15% of 80, you can first find 10% of 80 which is 8(just move the decimal one place to the left). The remaining 5% will be half of 8 since 8 is 10%. Add both the numbers up and you will get 12. (8+4=12)

To find 25% of 48, you can divide 48 by 4. Since percent means 'out of 100', 25% is 25 of 100. 100 divided by 25 is equal to 4. So, 48 divided by 4 is equal to 12.

So, the final answer is B. They both equal to 12.

Hope it helps :)
