Question

Samantha's notebook has 14 pages more than three times as much as Lisa's notebook. If Samantha's notebook has 260 pages , how many pages are there in Lisa's notebook? Answer Choices 72 82 246 738

Answer 1

Your answer is  B.82                                             

Answer 2

I would answer this like algebra, so if L = Lisa's notebook, then:
3L + 14 = 260
- 14
3L = 246
÷ 3
L = 82
So your answer is 82 pages, I hope this helps!
