Question

Jay has an album that holds 900 compact discs. Each page of the album holds 9 compact discs. If 83% of the album is empty, how many pages are filled with compact discs?

​

Answer 1

There is a total of 100 pages filled with discs.

Explanation:

To find the number of pages filled with compact discs, we need to subtract the percentage of empty space from 100% to determine the percentage of space occupied by the discs. Then we can calculate the number of pages based on the given information.

Percentage of space occupied by discs = 100% - 83% = 17%

Since each page of the album holds 9 compact discs, we can find the number of pages filled by dividing the total number of discs by the number of discs per page:

Number of filled pages = (Total number of discs) / (Number of discs per page)

Total number of discs = 900

Number of discs per page = 9

Number of filled pages = 900 / 9 = 100

Therefore, there are 100 pages filled with compact discs in the album.
