Question
Jimmy is writing a paper for one of his classes. The paper has to be 2,000 words long, and so far he has written 432 words. If he only has 4 more days to write his paper and wants to write the same number of words each day, then how many words must he write per day to finish the paper? A. 1,568 B. 892 C. 416 D. 392
Solution
First, we need to find out how many words Jimmy still needs to write. We do this by subtracting the number of words he has already written from the total number of words required.
So, 2000 (total words) - 432 (words already written) = 1568 words still to write.
Next, we need to find out how many words he needs to write each day. We do this by dividing the total number of words he still needs to write by the number of days he has left.
So, 1568 (words still to write) ÷ 4 (days left) = 392 words per day.
Therefore, Jimmy needs to write 392 words per day to finish his paper on time. So, the answer is D. 392.
