Question

Priscilla currently reads 10 pages in her book each night. She wants to increase the number of pages by 30%. How many pages will Priscilla read each night after the increase

Answer 1

to increase the number of pages she reads a night by 30% she would need to read an additional 3 pages making her total pages read a night from now on 13 pages

Answer 2

Answer: She will read 13 pages per night after the increase

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this we have to calculate the number of pages that are equal to a 30% increase, by multiplying the number of pages read by Pricilla (10) by the percent increase in decimal form (divided by 100).

10 x (30/100) = 10 x 0.3 = 3 pages

Add that number to the current number of pages:

10+3 =13

She will read 13 pages per night after the increase.
