During a physics class lesson lasting one hour it took 9 mins to set up what is the percentage of the lesson time was used

If I buy 5 metres of a cloth at x₦ per meter how much change will I get from ₦7000

1 answer

To calculate the percentage of the lesson time used for setting up:

Total lesson time = 60 minutes
Time used for setting up = 9 minutes

Percentage of lesson time used for setting up = (9/60) x 100% = 15%

Therefore, 15% of the physics class lesson time was used for setting up.

To calculate the total cost of the cloth:

Cost per meter = x₦
Length of cloth purchased = 5 meters

Total cost of the cloth = 5 * x₦

If the total cost is ₦7000, then we can set up an equation:

5 * x = 7000
x = 7000 / 5
x = 1400₦ per meter

Therefore, the cost per meter is 1400₦. When you buy 5 meters of cloth at 1400₦ per meter, the total cost is 5 * 1400 = 7000₦.

Since you are paying the exact amount and not more, you will not receive any change.
