What is percentage?

Percentage is defined as a given part or amount in every hundred. It is a fraction with 100 as the denominator and is represented by the symbol "%".

Given

Ana read 15% of her 46-page book.

= \(46\times15\%\)

= \(46\times0.15\)

= \(6.9\)

6.9 pages

Hillary read 11% of her 72-page book.

= \(72\times11\%\)

= \(72\times0.11\)

= \(7.92\)

7.92 pages

Roger read 12% of his 68-page book.

= \(68\times12\%\)

= \(68\times0.12\)

= \(8.16\)

8.16 pages

Juan read 14% of his 69-page book.

= \(69\times14\%\)

= \(69 \times0.14\)

= \(9.66\)

9.66 pages

∵ 9.66 > 8.16 > 7.92 > 6.9

∴ Juan > Roger > Hillary > Ana

So, Juan can read the greatest number of pages in a day.
