Answer:

108 pages

Explanation:

Angelina read 30% of the book that contains 360 pages.

30% of 360 pages

"of" also means multiply, so we must multiply 30% and 360.

30% * 360

Convert 30% to a decimal. Divide 30 by 100, or move the decimal place 2 spots to the left.

30/100=0.30

or

30.0---> 3.0---> 0.30

Plug the decimal in for the percent.

0.30*360

Multiply the 2 numbers together

108

Angelina has read 108 pages so far.
