To find the percent of the books she has read, divide the number that she has already read by the total number of books on her list.
Read: 6
Total: 20
6/20= 0.3
When you convert decimals to percentages, you move the decimal 2 spots to the right. So 0.3= 30%
Therefore, Emma has read 30% of the books on her list :)
