Answer 2

Answer:

She has read 70 %  of the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : Melanie is reading a book that is 300 pages long. If she has read 210 pages of the book,

To find :  what percent of the book has she read.

Solution : We have given

Total pages in book = 300 pages .

She read  = 210 .

Percentage she read (%) = $\frac{She\ read\ pages}{total\ pages}*100$.

Percentage she read (%) = $\frac{210}{300}*100$.

Percentage she read (%) = $\frac{210}{3}$.

Percentage she read (%) =  70 % .

Therefore, She has read 70 %  of the book.
