Answer: 76 pages

Explanation:

700 photo spaces = 100%

-The total

168 photo spaces = 24%

-The number of empty spaces in the album.

- Find 24% of 700:

70(10%) x 2 = 140

7(1%) x 4 = 28

140 + 28 = 168

532 photo spaces = 76%

- The number of photos in the album

700 - 168 = 532

Finding the number of pages.

-As we know 1 page holds 7 photos, if we had 532 photos we'd have to divide it by 7 to see how many pages all the photos would be held in.

532 ÷ 7 = 76.
