Question

Students in Mr. Lewis's class are reading a book that has 280 pages. Ramon decides to read 25% of the book each night. How many pages will Ramon read each night?

Answer 1

Ramon will read 70 each night.

Explanation:

25% of 280

REMEMBER: "Of" means to multiply

25% x 280

Convert the percent into a decimal

0.25 x 280 = 70

So Ramon will read 70 pages each night.
