During summer vacation, Wesley read, on average, 20 pages per night. Now that he has returned to school, he is averaging 65% fewer. How many pages per night is Wesley averaging now?

He is currently reading 7 pages per night

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply the question a little by finding what percent of the original Wesley is currently reading. Instead of saying 65% fewer, we can say he is reading 35% of what he used to read

Now we need to set up a proportion to solve the problem.

35% of 20

35/100=x/20

Cross multiply

35x20=700

700/100=7

He is currently reading 7 pages per night

(x+3)(x+7)
