There would be 60 pages in the book totally because you would set 40/x=2/3 and solve for x.

40/x=2/3

2x=120

x=60

lbvjy [14]

Your estimate of the baby pig's weight is 2 pounds. However the actual weight of it is only 16 pounds.
Let's solve for the percentage error of this.
=> 20 - 16 = 4 pounds
=> 4 / 16 = 0.25
=> 0.25 * 100% = 25%
Thus, you added 25% of the baby pig's weight
