Question

Kenzie is putting the family vacation videos onto a flash drive. The flash drive can hold 200 minutes of video. Kenzie has used 45% of the memory space already. How many minutes of the flash drive has she already used?

Answer 1

90 minutes

Explanation:

In order to calculate a percentage of the minutes of video we simply need to divide the percentage by 100 and then multiply that value by the total number of minutes that the flash drive can hold. Since we are given this total number of minutes then we can simply plug it in and solve for x which represents the percentage of memory used in minutes.

x = 200 * (45 / 100)

x = 200 * 0.45

x = 90 minutes

Therefore, Kenzie has already used 90 minutes of video on the flash drive.
