Jared is reading a 300-page book he borrowed from the library. So far, he has 85 read pages. He has more days to read the book before he returns it to the library. How many 5 pages must he read on average per day in order to finish the book before he returns it to the library?

Answer

43days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total number of pages is 300

and Jared has read 85 pages

this means he has 300-85=215 pages unread.

We are told that if he reads 5 pages per day in how many days would he be done with the 215 pages left.

to solve for the number of days left, we have to divide  215 by 5

that is

=215/5

=43 days

So Jared needs 43 days to read the 215 pages left and return the book to the Lilbrary.
