 minutes

Hint #11 / 4

Oliver's goal is to read for $10\%$10, percent more minutes next month, so he wants to read for $100\%+10\%=\blueD{110\%}$100, percent, plus, 10, percent, equals, start color #11accd, 110, percent, end color #11accd as many minutes.

Hint #22 / 4

Percent means per hundred, so $\blueD{110\%}$start color #11accd, 110, percent, end color #11accd is equivalent to $\blueD{\dfrac{110}{100}}$start color #11accd, start fraction, 110, divided by, 100, end fraction, end color #11accd which is also equal to $\blueD{110\div 100}$start color #11accd, 110, divided by, 100, end color #11accd.

$\blueD{110\div 100 = 1.1}$start color #11accd, 110, divided by, 100, equals, 1, point, 1, end color #11accd

Hint #33 / 4

Oliver read for $\greenD{450}$start color #1fab54, 450, end color #1fab54 minutes this month.

$\blueD{1.1}\times \greenD{450}=\purpleD{495}$start color #11accd, 1, point, 1, end color #11accd, times, start color #1fab54, 450, end color #1fab54, equals, start color #7854ab, 495, end color #7854ab

Oliver's goal is to read for $\purpleD{495}$start color #7854ab, 495, end color #7854ab minutes next month. If he reaches his goal, how many minutes will he have read in all?

Hint #44 / 4

If Oliver meets his goal, he will have read for $\greenD{450}+\purpleD{495}=945$start color #1fab54, 450, end color #1fab54, plus, start color #7854ab, 495, end color #7854ab, equals, 945 minutes in all during the two months.
