Question

You work as a coordinator for data entry projects. On one project, the status report shows that 15% of the work was completed in 6 days. If the work progresses at the same rate, how many more days will be required to complete the remainder of the project?

Answer 1

Answer: They need 34 more days to complete the remainder of the project.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of days the work was done = 6 days

Part of work is completed in these days = 15%

If the work is done at the same rate,

then the remaining part of work is done in how many days.

Remaining part of work is 100% - 15% = 85 %

So, it becomes,

`(6)/(0.15)=(x)/(0.85)\\\\x=(6* 0.85)/(0.15)=34\ days`

Hence, they need 34 more days to complete the remainder of the project.

Answer 2

The remaining 85% will take 85/15 * 6 days = 34 days to complete.
