Question

Madison to read a book that is 260 page and her mom said she can take a break and she is 30% finish how far does she need to read

Answer 1

`182\ pages`

Explanation:

Let

x------>number of pages to read

we know that

`100\%-30\%=70\%`

`70\%=70/100=0.70`

To find the number of pages to read multiply
`0.70` by the total pages of the book

so

`x=0.70(260)=182\ pages`

Answer 2

30% is 3/10. 260 times 3/10 is 780/10, or 78. She read 78 pages. 260 - 78 is 182 pages left.
