First translate the question into an equation.

"What percent" means x/100, "of 40" means times 40, "is 14" equals 14.

So we have (x)(40) = 14 or 40x = 14.

Dividing both sides by 40, we find that x = 0.35.

Now, we want to write our answer as a percent.

So we move the decimal 2 places to the right and we have 35%.

Answer:

Sharon spent a total of 49 minutes yesterday reading the book

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the rate at which she reads

The total number of pages she reads at any given time interval can be expressed as;

T=P×m

where;

T=Total number of pages she reads

P=the rate at which she reads in number of pages per minute

m=total number of minutes she takes reading a book

In our case;

T=10 pages

P=p

m=35 minutes

replacing;

10=p×35

p=10/35

p=(10/35)

The rate at which she reads=(10/35) pages per minute

Step 2: Calculate the time she spent reading the book yesterday

Yesterdays variables are as follows;

T=14 pages

p=(10/35) pages per minute

m=unknown

replacing;

14=(10/35)×m

m=14×(35/10)

m=49
