Question

During a 60-minute television program, 25% of the time is used for commercials and 5% of the time is used the opening and closing credits. How many minutes remain for the program itself? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

42

Explanation:

60x.70

.70 is 70%

25+5=30 (how much percent of show is used for commercials and credits)

Answer 2

42 minutes remain for the program itself.

Explanation:

First, find how much 25% of the program is and also what 5% of the program is, then subtract those from 60.

25% * 60 = 15

5% * 60 = 3

15 + 3 = 18

60 - 18 = 42
