First, we need to calculate how many more minutes Oliver aims to read next month.
Oliver's goal is to read for 10% more minutes than 450 minutes. To find out what 10% of 450 minutes is, we multiply 450 by 0.10 (or 10/100):
\[10\% \text{ of } 450 = 450 \times 0.10 = 45 \text{ minutes}\]
Next, we add these additional 45 minutes to the original 450 minutes to find out how many minutes he plans to read next month:
\[450 \text{ minutes} + 45 \text{ minutes} = 495 \text{ minutes}\]
Now, to find out the total number of minutes Oliver will read over the two months, we add the minutes from this month and the minutes he plans to read next month:
\[450 \text{ minutes} + 495 \text{ minutes} = 945 \text{ minutes}\]
So, if Oliver meets his goal, he will read a total of 945 minutes during the two months.
Oliver read for
\[450\] minutes this month. His goal is to read for
\[10\%\] more minutes next month.
If Oliver meets his goal, how many minutes will he read in all during the two months?
