Because of road construction in one city, commuters were advised to plan that their Monday morning commute would take 150% of their usual commuting time. Explain what this means.

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Original commute time = x

Commute time due to road construction = 150% of original commute time

Hence, commute time due to road construction :

(150 / 100) * x

0.15x

Hence, the implication of the road construction in progress means that it will now take additional half of the usual time it takes them on a Monday morning.

For instance, an individual whose usu commute time is 10 minutes in the morning will now take :

1.5x = 1.5(10) = 15 minutes commute time on a Monday morning.
