Answer: It becomes 120% of original dough.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Jay is letting her bread dough rise,

After 3 hours, her bread dough is
1(1)/(5)=(6)/(5) of its original size.

We need to find the percent of its original size is Jay's bread dough.

So, Percentage will be


(6)/(5)* 100\\\\=6* 20\\\\=120\%

So, it becomes 120% of original dough.
