On Tuesday, the train journey took 7 hours and 20 minutes and began at 13:53.

(i) At what time did the train journey end?

(ii) Tuesday's time of 7 hours and 20 minutes was 10% more than Monday's journey time. How many minutes longer was Tuesday's journey?

Answer :

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

110% = 440 minutes (Tuesday journey)

100% = 100/110 x 440

100% = 400 minutes (Monday journey)

Tuesday's journey took 40 minutes longer than Monday's journey.

What is a percentage?

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

We have,

On Tuesday the train journey took 7 hours and 20 minutes and began at

13:53.

The time train journey ended.

= 13:53 + 7 hours + 20 minutes

= 13 hours + 53 minutes + 7 hours + 20 minutes

= 20 hours + 73 minutes

= 20 hours + 60 minutes + 13 minutes

= 20 hours + 1 hour + 13 minutes

= 21 hours + 13 minutes

This means,

= 21:13

The train ended the journey at 21:13

Tuesday's time of 7 hours and 20 minutes was 10% more than Monday's journey time.

This means,

Converting into minutes.

7 hours 20 minutes

= 60 x 7 + 20 minutes

= 420 minutes + 20 minutes

= 440 minutes

Monday's journey time.

110% = 440 minutes:

100% = 100/110 x 440

100% = 400 minutes

Thus,

Tuesday's journey took 40 minutes longer than Monday's journey.
