Question

Antonio has read 147 pages of a book . He has completed 70% of the book.How many more pages does he need to read to finish the book?

Answer 1

63

Explanation:

Answer 2

He needs to finish 63 pages.

Explanation:

Let the total number of pages he has to read = x,

The percentage of the book he has finished = 70%,

Thus, the number of pages he has finished = 70% of 147,

`=(70x)/(100)`

According to the question,

`(70x)/(100)=147`

`70x=14700`

`x=(14700)/(70)=210`

Hence, the remaining pages he needs to read = total pages - pages which are finished

= 210 - 147

= 63
