Answer:

945 minutes

Explanation:

The complete question is

Oliver read for 450 minutes this month. His goal is to read for 10%, percent more minutes next month. If Oliver meets his goal, how many minutes will he read in all during the two months?

step 1

Find out the number of minutes that Oliver will read the next month

Remember that

100%+10%=110%=110/100=1.10

To find out how many minutes Oliver will read next month, multiply the number of minutes that Oliver read this month by 1.10

450(1.10)= 495 minutes

step 2

Adds the minutes that Oliver read this month plus the minutes that Oliver will read next month

450+495=945 minutes
