Answer:
Let p represent the # of pages in the book. Then, Nora has already read 0.30p pages and has 0.70p pages left to read.
If she reads 25% pages/night, that means reading 0.25(0.70)p pages per night, or 17.5 pages/night. If 28% p/n, that means 0.28(0.70)p pages/night, or 19.6p pages/night.
How many nights will it take Nora to finish the book if she reads 25% of 7/10 of the book per night? Without any calculations, we can answer this by "4 nights, since she reads 1/4 of the unread portion of the book per night."
If she reads 28% of 7/10 of the book per night, that will require fewer nights:
First night: 28%
Second night: 28%
Third night: 28%
Total: 3(28%) = 84%
This leaves 16% to read on the final night.
This is one interpretation of what I think is a poorly worded question.
The author of this question might have meant reading 25% of the remaining unread pages per night, which leads to a different answer.
There is an 18% chance that out of the 3 students she asks, 3 would be in a band. I hope this helped ^^
I believe your answer is C. But I’m not completely sure!
Answer:
3. 26 problems left
4. $69.20
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First I divided 5 into 2 to get a decimal, 0.4, and then I multiplied 0.4 to 65.
0.4 x 65 = 26
2. It said that Luke paid 2.75 for himself and 6 other friends, which is 7 people. I then multiplied 2.75 x 7 and got 19.25. I then added 19.25 to the other amount of money, and got 69.20.
49.95 + 19.25 = 69.20
Hope this helps <3
