Question

19. Kyle often pretends to take showers. He was told 330 times to take a shower, but onlytook one 264 times. What percentage of the time did he pretend to take a shower?

Answer 1

Given that Kyle only took his shower 264 times when he was told 330 times, this implies that the percentage of times he took his shower is evaluated as

`\begin{gathered} (264)/(330)*100 \\ =(4)/(5)*100 \\ =80\% \end{gathered}`

Since he took a shower 80% of the time, the percentage of time he pretended is thus evaluated as

`\begin{gathered} (100-80)\% \\ =20\% \end{gathered}`

Hence, he pretended to take a shower 20% of the time.
