Question

Linda reads 48 pages of her book which represents 40%of her book how many pages does this book have

Answer 1

120 pages are in the book

Answer 2

Let's set up an equation for this:

Let $p$ represent the number of pages;

$48=.4p$

So to get $p$ by itself, we need to divide by .4!

$p=120$

So there are 120 total pages in their book.
