Question

George is reading a book. On Monday he reads 1/3 of the book. On Tuesday he reads three - tenths of the remaining pages. He has 35 pages left to read.

How many pagesare in the book?​

Answer 1

Answer: 75 pages

Explanation:

3/10 of 2/3

= 3/10 * 2/3

= 2/10; simplified by dividing by 2 = 1/5

1/3 + 1/5 = 8/15

Let x represent the amount of pages left

so, 7/15 x = 35

x = 75

Therefore, there are 75 pages in the book
