Question

You estimated that an art project would take 5 hours. It actually took 16 hours. The amount of time it took to finish the project was what percent of the estimated time?

Answer 1

The amount of time took to finish the project is 320% of the estimated time.

Explanation:

• Estimated time = 5 hours
• Actual time = 16 hours

16 = what percent of the estimated time

16 = (x/100)
`*`5

1600/5 = x

320 = x

The amount of time took to finish the project is 320% of the estimated time.
