Question

Monica regularly records her favorite television show. Each episode of the show requires 3.5% of the total capacity of her video recorder. Her recorder currently has 62% off its total memory free. If Monica records all five episodes this week, how much more space will be left on her video recorder?

Answer 1

82.5%

Explanation:

Her favorite television show is recorded regularly by Monica.

If the total memory of her video recorder is 100% then 3.5% is taken by each episode of the show.

If Monica records all the five episodes of this week, then this will take ( 3.5 × 5 ) = 17.5 % of the memory of her video recorder.

Therefore, there will be more ( 100 - 17.5 ) = 82.5% free space in the memory of her video recorder. (Answer)
