My question is: DeShaun always wins the award in English class for reading the most books over the summer. This year is no different. Summer break is 80 days long. When he arrives, he notifies the teacher that he read 60 books over the summer. Each book averaged 320 pages long. The person closest to him read 75% as much as he did. How many pages did the second person read on average each day of break? Your thoughts:
Deshaun read 19,200 pages because 60 x 320 = 19,200. The person closest to him read 14, 400 pages because 19,200 x .75 = 14,400. They read 180 pages a day because 14, 400 / 80 = 180. The final answer: 180.
