7)	Holly has 1 hour to clean the apartment. If she spends 33% of her time to clean the bedroom, and 62% of her time cleaning the kitchen, how many minutes does she have left to clean the living room?

Holly has 1 hour to clean the apartment, which is equivalent to 60 minutes. She spends:

- 33% of her time cleaning the bedroom.
- 62% of her time cleaning the kitchen.

First, we calculate the time she spends on each task:

1. **Time spent cleaning the bedroom**:
   \[
   \text{Bedroom time} = 33\% \times 60 \text{ minutes} = 0.33 \times 60 = 19.8 \text{ minutes}
   \]

2. **Time spent cleaning the kitchen**:
   \[
   \text{Kitchen time} = 62\% \times 60 \text{ minutes} = 0.62 \times 60 = 37.2 \text{ minutes}
   \]

Next, we calculate the total time spent cleaning the bedroom and kitchen:
\[
\text{Total time spent} = 19.8 \text{ minutes} + 37.2 \text{ minutes} = 57 \text{ minutes}
\]

Finally, to find out how much time Holly has left to clean the living room:
\[
\text{Time left for living room} = 60 \text{ minutes} - 57 \text{ minutes} = 3 \text{ minutes}
\]

So, Holly has **3 minutes** left to clean the living room.

4. If Holly spent 20% of her time on each room, how much time would be spent on a fourth room?
5. How would the time left for the living room change if she increased the bedroom cleaning time to 40%?

**Tip:** Always convert percentages to decimal form when multiplying with total values to find the portion of the whole.
