Answer: There are 175 pages in the book.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Elena read 20 more pages than Andre and she read 55 pages, to find out how much Andre read you have to:
55-20= the pages Andre read
55-20=35
Andre read 35 pages.
If Andre read 1/5 of the book, then to find how many pages are in the book, you have to multiply 35 x 5. (Multiply by the reciprocal)
35 x 5= 175
There are 175 pages in the book.
The answer is 3.... 4*3=12 6*3 =18
Let the two numbers be x and y.
Let m = the fraction (or percentage) for increasing the numbers.
Increase x by 5, multiply (x+5) by (1+m), and set it qual to 36.
(x + 5)*(1 + m) = 36
Increase y by 5, multiply (y+5) by (1+m), and set it equal to 36.
(y+5)*(1+m) = 36
Therefore
(x+5)*(1+m) = (y+5)*(1+m)
x + 5 = y + 5
x = y
x - y = 0
Answer: 0.
The difference between the two numbers is zero.
