Question

Melissa read 250 pages of a book last weekend. This weekend she reads 240 pages of a book. What is the percent of change in the number of pages she read last weekend to the number of pages she read this weekend?

Answer 1

Answer:

there is a 4% decrease in the number of pages read by Melissa

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage change = (books read this week - books read last week) / books read last week x 100

(240 - 250) / 250 x 100

= -10/250 x 100 = -4%
