Bryan decided to ride his bike along a new route home from school to avoid some construction. Before leaving school, he estimated how long the route would take. When Bryan arrived home, he saw the ride had taken him 16 minutes. His estimate had been 25% more than that. How long had Bryan estimated it would take to ride home from school?

Sagot :

Answer:   20 minutes.

Work Shown:

Estimate = 1.25*(actual time)

Estimate = 1.25*(16)

Estimate = 20

Bryan estimated it would take 20 minutes.

Note: The multiplier 1.25 represents an increase of 25%
