Okay so first I just go to the wording of the first part, reading it again as something like "85 is 34% of what number?" Then I translate it by putting an = for the "is", an x (times) for the "of", and a variable, w for "what number". Because it's a percent, we get rid of the % sign by writing 34/100, or .34 . Then we just have:
85=.34 x a
Divide off the .34
a=250
Now for the second part. 250 is the total number of pages, so subtract 85 to get the number of pages she hasn't read.
250-85=165
So she has more than 125 pages left.

See answer below
Step-by-step explanation:
In inductive reasoning we arrive to a general conclusion based on particular observations.
For example:
<em>"My friends Peter and Mary study at XYZ University. Peter and Mary are brilliant.
</em>
<em>Yesterday I met Joe in a party. Joe also studies at XYZ University and he happens to be brilliant, too.
</em>
<em>I conclude that all the students of XYZ University are brilliant"
</em>
Notice that this kind of reasoning might lead to a false conclusion.
In deductive reasoning, we arrive to a particular conclusion based on general observations. So, deductive reasoning is the opposite of inductive reasoning.
An example of deductive reasoning could be the following:
<em>"To be accepted in the XYZ University you must pass a test with a score greater than 70%.
</em>
<em>My friend Peter studies at XYZ University, so he passed the test with a score greater than 70%"
</em>
In deductive reasoning you may arrive to a false conclusion if your general assumption is false.
