Question

Tara has read 95%, percent of the books she owns. if tara owns 160 books, how many of her books has she not read?

Answer 1

8 books have not been read.

Explanation:

Let X be the number of books Tara owns.

We learn that she has read 95%, which would mean (0.95)*(X) have already been read.

5% have not been read. 5% 0f 160 books equals (0.05)*(160) = 8 books have not been read. Impressive.
