Given the statement:

Emma has already read 12 of 29 books on her summer reading list

Determine the percentage of the books that Emma has read.

Solution:

In order to determine the percentage of books that Emma read, we simply need to divide 12 by 29.

= 12/29

= 0.414

Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.

= (0.414)(100)

= 41.4%

Final answer:

= 41.4%
