Question

Eric has to read a 250-page novel by Friday. With four days left until Friday, he has read 110 pages of the novel. What percentage of the pages does Eric still have to read?

Answer 1

56 %

Step-by-step explanation: There are two ways to arrive at the answer.

1st Way: 110/250 = 0.44

0.44 * 100 = 44%

44% is the amount he has read and we are looking for the amount that is left to read.

So we know 100% is the maximum percentage.

We then subtract 44 from 100 which is 56, So 56 is the answer.

2nd Way: 250-110 = 140

140/250=0.56

0.56*100= 56%

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

56% left of the book
