Question

Perry has already written 19 pages, and he expects to write 2 pages for every additional

hour spent writing. After spending 15 hours writing this week, how many pages will Perry
have written in total?

Answer 1

Perry will have written 49 pages total

Explanation:

2 pages = 1 hour

? pages = 15 hours

You multiply the top (2 pages=1 hour) by 15 (hours spent writing) to get the number of pages Perry wrote in 15 hours, which is 30 pages.

Then you add the 19 pages he already wrote to the 30 — 19+30=49

Answer 2

19 pages + 2 pages for every hour x 15 hours

19 + 30

=49
