Complete question :

Sam knows that his MP3 player has 40% of its battery life left and that the battery

charges by an additional 12 percentage points every 15 minutes. What percent of

the mp3's battery will be charged when Sam and his family leave? If mp3 was plugged in an hour before his family plan to leave.

88%

Step-by-step explanation:

Time before leaving = 1hour

Current percentage = 40%

Charge rate = 12% every 15 minutes

Therefore,

Charge rate per minute :

12% / 15 = 0.8% per minute

Charge recieved after one hour (60 minutes) :

0.8% * 60

= 48%

Therefore, total charge after just before leaving is:

Current percentage + percentage received

40% + 48%

= 88%
