Tammy had a guide book with 460 pages. She read 40% of the guide book on Monday, 40% of the guide book on Tuesday and the rest on Wednesday.
- How many pages did she read on Wednesday?
- How many more pages did she read on Monday than on Wednesday?
(a)
100% → 460
1% → 460 ÷ 100 = 4.6
Number of pages that Tammy read on Wednesday in percent
= 100% - 40% - 40%
= 20%
Number of pages that Tammy read on Wednesday
= 20 x 4.6
= 92
(b)
Number of more pages that Tammy read on Monday than on Wednesday in percent
= 40% - 20%
= 20%
20% → 20 x 4.6 = 92
Number of more pages that Tammy read on Monday than on Wednesday = 92
Answer(s): (a) 92; (b) 92
