Historical Background
The concept of calculating percentages has been around for centuries and is foundational in various fields, including education, finance, and statistics. Applying percentage calculations to reading progress is a modern adaptation of this mathematical concept, providing a quantitative measure of how far one has gotten through a book or a set of reading materials.
Calculation Formula
To calculate the Page Percentage (\(PP\)), use the formula:
\[ PP = \frac{PR}{PB} \times 100 \]
where:
- \(PP\) is the Page Percentage,
- \(PR\) is the total number of pages read,
- \(PB\) is the total number of pages in the book.
Example Calculation
If you have read 150 pages out of a 300-page book, the Page Percentage is calculated as:
\[ PP = \frac{150}{300} \times 100 = 50\% \]
