Question

George is reading a book.On Monday he read 1/3 of the book. On Tuesday he reads three-tenths of the remaining pages. He has 35 pages left to read. How many pages are in the book

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m=p/3

t=(3/10)(1-1/3)

t=(3/10)(2/3)=p/5

p-p/3-p/5=35

(15p-5p-3p)/15=35

7p/15=35

7p=525

p=75

So the book has 75 pages.
