Study Notes
Minimum Page Requirement for Menal
- Menal has a goal of reading 350 pages over 4 weeks.
- The equation representing Menal's reading goal is 50 + 45 + 4p = 350.
- The terms in the equation are:
- 50 pages read in the first week.
- 45 pages read in the second week.
- 4p represents the total pages read over the 4 weeks.
- To find the minimum number of pages, p, she must read each week, isolate p in the equation.
Calculation Steps
- Sum the pages from the first two weeks: 50 + 45 = 95 pages.
- Substitute this sum back into the equation:
- 95 + 4p = 350.
- Rearrange to solve for 4p:
- 4p = 350 - 95, which simplifies to 4p = 255.
- Divide by 4 to find p:
- p = 255 / 4, resulting in p = 63.75.
- Since Menal can only read full pages, round up to the nearest whole number:
- Minimum pages per week = 64 pages.
- Thus, Menal must read at least 64 pages each week to meet her reading goal.
