Question

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

Answer 1

Her goal is to read 150 pages each day.

Explanation:

Let p represent the number of pages she wants to read each day.

Then 136% of that number is 204 pages, or, in an equation,

1.36p = 204

Solving for p, we get: p = 204/1.36 = 150 pages

Her goal is to read 150 pages each day.
