Question

Lucas read 30 percent of his book containing 480 pages. What page is he going to read next?

Answer 1

30% of 480 = 144

480 x 0.30 = 144

The next page is the 145th page.

Answer 2

Answer: The next page he is going to read is page 145.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

• Number of pages: 480
• Percent read: 30%

SO, first we have to multiply the number of pages (480) by the percentage read in decimal form (30/100= 0.3)

Mathematically speaking:

480 x 0.3 = 144

So, if he already read 144 pages the next page he is going to read is page 145.
