500%. Since the original time was five minutes, for every five minutes added you add on another 100%. Therefore…
10 mins = 100% increase 15 mins = 200% increase 20 mins = 300% increase 25 mins = 400% increase 30 mins = 500% increase
It’s really very simple… And I can say that because Math was my worst subject. :P

For all I know, there’s some fancy equation that a math teacher would make his students use to come up with the same result. But that’s the way I do it.

Just one question, she did not specify a period to which her 500% increase applied…except for the year. She only spent five minutes on math homework in an entire year?
We don’t do that here over 4 years ago
Ok in eighth grade I was spending about an hour on my math homework, granted i was doing tenth grade math but that’s beside the point
