Lance wants to finish reading a 100 page book in 3 days. Yesterday, he started to read 35 pages. Today, he read 5 fewer pages than yesterday. How many pages should he read tomorrow to finish the book?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
Lance read 35 - 5 = 30 pages today. So he read a total of 35 + 30 = 65 pages in 2 days. Thus, he should read 100 - 65 = 35 pages tomorrow.
Thus, the answer is 35.
