Answer: 38 pages per night

Step-by-step explanation:

Tori used to read an average of 40 pages per night but now she is going at a rate that is 5% slower.

To find the number of pages she is reading now, first find 5% of 40 pages:

= 5% * 40

= 2

Then subtract this figure from 40:

= 40 - 2

= 38 pages per night

By deducting 5% from the reading quantity, the person is reading at 5% less.
