Question

Part 1 Latoya’s father makes a deal with her. Whatever percent her screen time increases one week, she will decrease her new total that same percent the next week. Her screen time app shows four hours of screen time in Week 1 and five hours of screen time in Week 2. What was the increase in her screen time from Week 1 to Week 2?

Answer 1

The increase in Latoya's screen time from Week 1 to Week 2 is 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the increase in Latoya's screen time from Week 1 to Week 2, we need to calculate the percent increase. We can do this by finding the difference in screen time between the two weeks and expressing it as a percentage of the initial screen time.

Screen time increase from Week 1 to Week 2 = (Screen time in Week 2 - Screen time in Week 1) / Screen time in Week 1 * 100%.

Substituting the given values, we get: Screen time increase from Week 1 to Week 2 = (5 - 4) / 4 * 100% = 1 / 4 * 100% = 25%.

Therefore, the increase in Latoya's screen time from Week 1 to Week 2 is 25%.
