Question

Daniel has read 40​% of a book. He has 30 more pages to finish. How many pages are there in the​ book?

Answer 1

75 Pages

Explanation:

If he has 40% completed, it is 0.40 as a decimal. We are trying to solve for the total number of pages in the book, or the whole.

part/whole = percent

Let x = total number of pages in the book

30/x=0.40

x=30/0.40 = 75 pages in the book
