Question

Theresa and Isaiah are comparing the number of pages that they read for pleasure over the summer .Thereas read 2210 pages which was 85% of the number of pages that Isaiah read .how many pages did Isaiah read

Answer 1

Set up a proportion.

2210/0.85 = x/1

Multiply 1 to both sides:

x = 2210 * 1/0.85

x = 2210/0.85

x = 2600

So Isaiah read 2600 pages.
