Sam read 20% of the book on Monday and 0.2 of the book on Tuesday. If he read 50% of the remainder on Wednesday and still had 36 pages to read, how many pages did Sam read altogether on Monday and Tuesday? (PLEASE SHOW STEPS!)
okay first you need to convert 0.2 to a percentage which would be 20% then 20% + 20% = 40% then it says he read 50%, 50% of 36 means that you have to multiply 36 two times to get, 72 then you do 72 * 40% = 28.8 = 29 + 72 = 101 pages in all then 101- 40%= 60.6 is how many pages were read on Monday and Tuesday.
