Question

If im 20% done with my book and there is 750 pages how much have i read

Answer 1

20/100 = x/750 Divide 750 by 5. 1/5 = 150/750 150 is your answer since we have both fractions in simplest form.

Answer 2

First, we convert the percent into a decimal. To this we move the decimal point two places to the right and change it to a % sign.

20% = 0.20

Then we want to multiply 750 by 0.20 to get pages he has read.

750 * 0.20 = 150

So, he has read 150 pages from the book.

I hope this answered your question. If something was confusing or just plain wrong, don't be hesitant to drop me a DM.
