Question

A painting crew painted a total of 20 houses in July. In August, the number of houses the crew painted was 20 percent more than the number of houses they painted in July. What fraction of the total number of houses the crew painted in July and August was painted in August?

The correct answer is: 0.545


    Given No. of houses painted in july = 20 (given)
    The no. of houses painted in August is 120% of no. of houses painted in july.
    no. of houses painted in August is 120% of 20  = 24 .
    Total no. of houses painted = 20 + 24  = 44
    The fraction of houses painted in august with total no. of painted in August and july is
