While planning to finish reading a 140-page book in one week, Jessy initially decides to read 3 times daily, 6 pages each time, every day of the week. How many more pages should she read per day to actually achieve her goal?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
To achieve her goal, she must read 140 / 7 = 20 pages per day. She planned to read 3 * 6 = 18 pages daily. She must read 20 - 18 = 2 more pages per day.
Thus, the answer is 2.
