Question

Boys did 1/8 of his homework at school and 1/16 of his homework on the bus ride home. Boyd plans to do the rest at home. What percent of Boyd's homework does he plan to do at home?

Answer 1

Answer:

81.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total homework of a boy be x

Part of homework done at school=$\frac{1}{8}$ x

Part of homework done at bus ride home= $\frac{1}{16}$ x

Part of homework done =$\frac{1}{8}$ x + $\frac{1}{16}$ x

Part of homework done =$\frac{3x}{16}$

Part of homework left to be done at home= x -$\frac{3x}{16}$

Part of homework left to be done at home= $\frac{13x}{16}$

Percentage of homework of the total work is to be done at home= $\frac{\frac{13x}{16} }{x}$  × 100%

Percentage of homework of the total work is to be done at home= 81.25%

Hence, the correct answer is 81.25%
