Question

Rebekah wants to read a certain number of pages each day during summer vacation. Today she reads 204 pages, which is 136% of her goal. How many pages does Rebekah want to read each day?

Answer 1

Rule of three
Pages        %
204     → 136%
x         → 100% (her goal)

x=204*100%/136%
x=150 pages

Answer: Rebeca wants to read 150 pages each day        

Answer 2

Given that Rebekah wants to read a certain number of pages each day and today she has read a total of 204 pages which is 136% of her goal, to find the number of pages that she wants to read per day we proceed as follows:
The percentage of pages she wants to read is 100%
thus the number of pages represented by this is:
100/136×204
=150 pages
