a book had 76 pages. Paul read 0.2 of the book. what page is he on

To find out which page Paul is on after reading \(0.2\) (or 20%) of a book with 76 pages, we need to calculate how many pages he has read.

1. **Calculate the number of pages Paul has read:**

   Since Paul read \(0.2\) of the book, we multiply \(0.2\) by the total number of pages:

   \[
   \text{Pages read by Paul} = 0.2 \times 76
   \]

2. **Perform the multiplication:**

   \[
   0.2 \times 76 = 15.2
   \]

Since page numbers must be whole numbers, we round up because he would finish page 15 and be on page 16 after reading \(0.2\) of the book.

Thus, Paul is on **page 16** after reading 20% of the book.
