Question

Hal read 114 pages of his book during vacation. This was 60% of the book. How many pages does Hal have left to read?

Please help me.

Answer 1

Explanation:

so... 60% of his entire book is 114 pages...

let x represent his entire book

turn ur percent to a decimal

" of " means multiply and " is means equals

0.60x = 114...divide both sides by 0.60

x = 114/ 0.60

x = 190 pages left <===
