Answer:

149.5 pages excluding the back parts

150.8 pages including the back parts

Explanation:

Total pages in Math 123 book = 230 pages

You aim to complete 65% of all the pages, how many should you finish

65 % of 230 pages

= 65 / 100 × 230 pages

= 0.65 × 230 pages

= 149.5 pages excluding the bark parts of the book

If you include the back parts, that is, the beginning and ending page

You have a total of 230 pages + 2 pages

= 232 pages

65 % of 232 pages

= 65 / 100 × 232 pages

= 0.65 × 232 pages

= 150.8 pages including the back parts
