Q. The FAA tracks average flight delays. It found that, last year, a particular airline had an average flight delay of 10 minutes. So far this year, the airline has an average that is 50% longer. What is the current year's average?_____ minutes
Calculate Increase in Delay: Calculate the increase in delay time based on the percentage increase.Last year's average delay: 10 minutes.Percentage increase: 50%.Increased delay = 10 minutes ×50% = 5 minutes
Add to Find Current Average: Add the increase to last year's average to find the current year's average.Current year's average delay = 10 minutes + 5 minutes = 15 minutes
