Just multiply to find out how many pages each person read. Percentages are parts of 100, you can divide by 100 to convert them into a decimal and then multiply.

Zev: 0.15 * 56 = 8.4
Kelly: 0.12 * 64 = 7.68
Marneisha: 0.14 * 68 = 9.52
Aleisha: 0.10 * 72 = 7.2

So Marneisha read the greatest number of pages in one day.
