Question

While reading a book, Shara

Answer 1

Answer:

288 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up a fraction (Since 75% is 216, 100% is x. We don't need the percent (%).)

$\frac{216}{75} = \frac{x}{100}$

Step 2: Solve; Divide the given values (All we are doing is finding what is between those values.)

$\frac{216}{75}\\\\216 \div 75\\\\= 2.88$

Step 3: Multiply the result to the value (Now we multiply the result to 100 because that would make it equal.)

$100\\\\2.88 \times 100\\\\= 288$

Therefore, the book is 288 pages long.
