Question

daniel has read ​40% of a book. He has more 36 pages to finish. How many pages are there in the​ book?

Answer 1

60 Pages.

Explanation:

Using the given information, we can figure out that the remaining 36 pages are 60% of the book.

This is because 100% (whole book) - 40% (what you already read)= 60%= the remaining 36 pages

We can set up a problem to find 36 pages out of how many total pages is equal to 60%

(36/x) x 100 = 60%

=3600/60

=60 pages.

We can check our work by saying checking that 40% of 60 is 24, and 24+36 is 60 pages.
