Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
A pie chart shows the percentage of time spent on different activities in a day. If 25% is spent sleeping and 15% is spent eating, what is the maximum percentage of time that can be spent on leisure activities?
Step 1: Understand that the total percentage of time in a day is 100%.
Step 2: Identify the percentage of time spent sleeping, which is 25%.
Step 3: Identify the percentage of time spent eating, which is 15%.
Step 4: Add the percentages of sleeping and eating together: 25% + 15% = 40%.
Step 5: Subtract the total percentage of sleeping and eating from 100% to find the maximum percentage for leisure activities: 100% - 40% = 60%.
Percentage Calculation – Understanding how to calculate the remaining percentage after accounting for known percentages.
Time Allocation – Recognizing that the total time spent on activities must equal 100%.
