Q. Steve has run many marathons and keeps track of all of his finishing times. At a race last month, he finished in 260260 minutes. At his next race, he finished with a time that was 20%20\% longer. What was his finishing time at the most recent race?\newline____ minutes
  1. Calculate Increase: Calculate the increase in time based on the percentage given.\newline20%20\% of 260260 minutes = 0.20×260=520.20 \times 260 = 52 minutes.
  2. Add to Original Time: Add the increase to the original time to find the new finishing time.\newline260260 minutes + 5252 minutes = 312312 minutes.
