Jo has 24% of her English assignment remaining, which was determined by calculating the difference between the total pages required for the assignment (50 pages) and those she has already read (38 pages).
To calculate how much of the assignment Jo has left, we first determine the total number of pages she needs to read for the assignment: one-half of a 100-page book equates to 50 pages. Jo has read 38 pages out of the 50 required, so she has 50 - 38 = 12 pages remaining. To find the percentage of the assignment left, we use the formula:
Percentage left = (Pages left to read / Total pages required for the assignment)× 100
Thus, Percentage left = (12 / 50) × 100 = 24%
So Jo has 24% of her English assignment left to do.

Jo needs to read half of a 100-page book, which is 50 pages. After completing 38 pages, she has 12 pages left to read. This means she has 24% of the assignment remaining.
