Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peter's percent value-added time is calculated by dividing the actual work time (15 minutes) by the total time spent (8 hours or 480 minutes), then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. This calculation gives us (15/480)*100 = 3.125%, which is just over 3%. The other options are incorrect based on the information provided.
