Question

Rebecca is doing a reading assignment.After 23 minutes of reading,she skims the pages she has left and estimates that she still has 54% of the assignment to finish.If she keeps reading at the same rate,how many minutes will it have taken Rebecca to complete her whole assignment?

How do i work it out to get the answer?

Answer 1

27 minutes

Explanation:

100% - 54% = 46%

23→46%

x →100%

x=
`(23*100)/(46)` =
`(2300)/(46)` = 50 minutes

50 - 23= 27 minutes
