Q:

Oliver read for 450 minutes this month. His goal is to read for 10%, percent more minutes next month. If Oliver meets his goal, how many minutes will he read in all during the two months?

Accepted Solution

A:
450 minutes this month.
10% more next one.
Total for 2 months.
1) Let's find 10% of 450 and add it to 450 to find out how much he reads next month.
450×0.1=45
450+45=495 minutes
2) Now that we know Oliver reads 495 minutes next month, to find the total, we should add the two.
495+450=First month plus second month=945
•°•Oliver, in total, read 945 minutes during the two months.
