Question

Chris is asked to write a short story as part of a writing class assignment. He wrote the same amount of pages for the first 4 days and wrote 12 pages on the 5th day. At the end of the 5th day, the total pages written was 44. How many pages did he write on the first four days?

Answer 1

Answer: 32 pages

Explanation:

44 total pages - 12 pages on the last day = 32 pages over the first 4 days

32 pages over the first 4 days / 4 days (each with equal page counts) = 8 per day
