Question

Your friend estimated that it would take 5 hours to finish an art project. It actually took him 16 hours to finish the project. The amount of time it took to finish the project was % of the estimated time Use pencil and paper. What does it mean to have more than 100% of something? Give at least two examples The amount of time it took to finish the project was % of the estimated time (Type an integer or a decimal.)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find what percent a first number is of second number, divide the first number by the second number and multiply by 100%.

To find what percent 16 is of 5, divide 16 by 5 and multiply by 100%.

16/5 * 100% = 3.2 * 100% = 320%

"Percent" literally means "per 100."

100% means 100 out of 100, and means an entire amount.

More than 100% percent means more than the entire amount.

5 hours was the estimated time. 100% of 5 hours is 5 hours, the entire amount. More than 100% is more than the entire amount, so it is more than 5 hours. 16 hours is certainly much more than 5 hours, and it is 320% of 5 hours.

Answer 2

320%

To have over 100% of something means that you have more than the original number you had.
