Answer:

945 minutes

Explanation:

Given

  • Time(in minutes) Oliver read during this month , m=450
  • Next month he reads 10 % more than this month

Time(in minutes) Oliver read during the next month ,

n
= m+ (10)/(100) * m\\= m+ (m)/(10) \\= (10m+m)/(10) \\= (11m)/(10) \\= 1.1 * 450\\=495

So total time of studying over the 2 minutes= m+n

= 450 + 495= 945 minutes
