Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf No}`

Explanation:

Evan spent 20 hours doing homework last week

25 hours were spent this week.

Let's see what 125% of 20 equals:

= (125 / 100) * 20

= (125 / 10) * 2

= 125 / 5

= 25 hours

But,

It is written that Evan thought he spent 125 % more than the last week which means:

= (125% of 20) + 20

= 25 + 20

= 45 hours

He should've said that he has given 25% more time than the last week.

(Note that: 25 % of 20 equals 5 so 25 % more than last week will be equal to (25 % + 20) = (5+20) = 25)

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Hope this helped!
