Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: N = 143
Discussion:
This one took some trial and error! At first I listed all 2 digit primes, looked at the list, but didn't know how to proceed. So, I took the smallest 2 digit primes numbers: 11 and 13 and wondered if their product, 13*11 = 143, could be represented as the sum of 3 consecutive primes. I went back to my list of primes, added groups of three consecutive numbers that seemed to be in the right range to give the desired sum, and stumbled on 43, 47, and 53!
43 + 47 + 53 = 143 !
Therefore N = 143. It's the sum of 43, 47, and 53 as well as the product of 11 and 13.
Thank you,

Percentage of pages of a book read by Katie = 32%
Total number of pages of the book read by Katie = 80
Let us assume the number of pages that the book has = x
Then
(32/100) * x = 80
32x = 80 * 100
32x = 8000
x = 8000/32
= 250
So the book has a total of 250 pages in it.
Then
The number of pages that Katie still needs to read = 250 - 80
= 170
So Katie needs to read 170 more pages in the book.
Y= 1/10x + 2/10 is what you are left with once the equation is simplified
Y should also be halved.
For example, if x=4 and y=2, x=2y.
If x is halved for x=2, you get 2=2y, or y=1, which is still one half of x, so the proportion remains the same.
