Question

Joey wants to read 2,000 pages by the end of the summer. He has already read 1,250 pages. The rest of his reading will be spread over 5 weeks, and Joey wants to read the same number of pages each week. How many pages will he need to read each week?

Answer 1

150 pages

Explanation:

want to read 2,000 pages

already read 1,250 pages

Number of pages left to read

= 2000-1250

= 750

Rest of the reading spread over 5 weeks

wants to read same number of pages each week

Number of pages that need to be read each week over 5 weeks

= Number of pages left to read / total number of weeks

=750 / 5

= 150

He will need to read 150 pages a week.
