Mandy finished editing 38% of a book in 5 days. If the book is 300 pages long, how many pages did Mandy finish editing so far? Show your work

Answer 1

So far she has edited 114 pages

Explanation:

If she edited 38% of 300 pages, the number of pages she edited can be found by simply multiplying the decimal form of 38% (38% = 0.38) times the total number of pages of the book:

The number of pages edited = 0.38 x 300 = 114
