Question

Keisha is reading a 350 page book at a rate of 27 pages per day. Use a point-slope equation to determine how many pages she will have left to read after reading the book for 10 days. She will still have ____ pages left yo read after 10 days.

Answer 1

Answer:

She will still have 80 pages left to read after 10 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Keisha is reading the book at  a rate of 27 pages per day. The book has 350 pages. So , after x days , the no. of pages remaining to read is,

$y = 350 - 27 \times x$ ---------------(1)

Here, the given value of x is 10. So, putting x = 10 in (1) we get,

$y = 350 - 27 \times 10$

        = 80

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of pages left to read after 10 days is 80 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Keisha reading 350 pages book at rate of 27 pages per day .

Let The x pages will be read in 10 days

Now ,

$\frac{Page\times Day}{Work}$ = constant

So.  $\frac{P_1\times D_1}{W_1}$ = $\frac{P_2\times D_2}{W_2}$

Or, $\frac{350\times 1}{27}$ = $\frac{350\times 10}{x}$

Or,  350 × 1 × x = 350 × 10 × 27

So, x = 270

So, The page read on 10 days = 270

∴ left pages to read  = 350 - 270 = 80

Hence The number of pages left to read after 10 days is 80 .  Answer
