margaret is reading a book that is 288 pages long. If she has already read 96 pages,what percent of the book has she read?
To find the percentage of the book that Margaret has read, you need to divide the number of pages she has read by the total number of pages in the book, and then multiply the result by 100.
1. First, you would need to subtract the number of pages Margaret has already read (96) from the total number of pages in the book (288): 288 - 96 = 192.
2. Next, you would calculate the ratio of the pages read to the total number of pages: 96 / 288 = 0.3333 (rounded to four decimal places).
3. Finally, multiply the ratio by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33% (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, Margaret has read approximately 33.33% of the book.
