Victoria had a fiction book with 330 pages. She read 50% of the fiction book on Monday, 10% of the fiction 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% → 330
1% → 330 ÷ 100 = 3.3
Number of pages that Victoria read on Wednesday in percent
= 100% - 50% - 10%
= 40%
Number of pages that Victoria read on Wednesday
= 40 x 3.3
= 132
(b)
Number of more pages that Victoria read on Monday than on Wednesday in percent
= 50% - 40%
= 10%
10% → 10 x 3.3 = 33
Number of more pages that Victoria read on Monday than on Wednesday = 33
Answer(s): (a) 132; (b) 33
