Explanation:

Given that :

  • Tim has read 30 % of a book.
  • He has 56 more pages to finish.

to find :

  • How many pages are there in the book ?

let us assume :

  • total pages of book is 100•/•

explanation :

⟼ total book = 100•/•

⟼ Tim has read 30 % of a book.

⟼ 100 - 30 •/• = 70 •/•

⟼ 70 •/• = 56 pages

⟼ 1 •/• = 56 / 70

⟼ 100 •/• = 56 / 70 × 100

⟼ 100 •/• = 56 / 7 × 10

⟼ 100 •/• = 8 × 10

⟼ 100 •/• = 80 pages

tim has 80 total pages in book.

Answer:

  • 80 pages

Explanation:

  • Let the number of pages is x
  • Tim has read ​30 % of a book

Remaining

  • 100% - 30% = 70%

70% of x is 0.7x

  • 0.7x = 56
  • x = 56/0.7
  • x = 80 pages
