Question

2. Over the summer, Janice spent 120 hours reading. She spent 15% of that time reading science fiction and the rest of the time reading non- fiction. How many hours did Janice spend reading non-fiction? *

Answer 1

If Janice spent 15% of that time reading science fiction

This implies that she spent 85% of that time reading non -fiction

Time spent reading non-fiction = 85% of 120

`=(85)/(100)*120`
`=102`

Janice spent 102 hours reading non-fiction
