Question

An English class has read the first 384 pages of their novel.

If this is 75% of the entire book, how many total pages are in the novel?

Answer 1

x - the total number of pages


`75\%x=384 \\ (75)/(100)x=384 \\ (3)/(4)x=384 \\ x=384 * (4)/(3) \\ x=128 * 4 \\ x=512`

There are 512 pages in the novel.
