Answer 1

Given:

Oliver read for 450 minutes this month. His goal is to read for 10% more minutes next month.

To Find:

The number of minutes Oliver will have read during the two months if he meets his goal.

Answer:

All in all, if Oliver meets his goal, he would have read for 945 minutes during the two months.

Explanation:

Oliver read for 450 minutes this month.

He wants to read for 10% more minutes the next month.

10% of 450 can be calculated as

`((10)/(100))(450) = 45`

So, if Oliver meets his goal, he will read for 45 more minutes the following month. In total, he would therefore read 450 + 45 = 495 minutes in the following month.

We find the total number of minutes read by adding up the number of minutes Oliver read in both months.

All in all, if Oliver meets his goal, he would have read for 450 + 495 = 945 minutes during the two months.
