Answer:
the original number is greater
Step-by-step explanation:
1. let 1x be your starting number
2. therefore, 0.5 * 1x = 0.5x ( amount after you decreased it by 50%)
3. then increase: 0.5x * 1.5 = 0.75x (amount after you increased it by 50%)
4. 0.75x < 1x (this means that the original number is larger than the one you decreased and then increased)

Answer: 232 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
Total digits = 588
1 digit page number:
1 to 9 = 1 × 9 = 9
Number of pages = 9/1 = 9
2 - digit page number :
10 - 99 = 2 × 90 = 180
Number of pages = 180/2 = 90
3 - digit page number :
588 - (9 + 180) = 588 - 189 = 399
Number of pages with 3 - digits = 399/3 = 133
Therefore, the total number of pages the book has is :
(9 + 90 + 133) = 232 pages
