Question

It took Sarah 4 days to write a paper, she wrote 12 pages on day 1, 15 pages on day 2 and 9 pages on day 3. If she wrote 12 pages per day , how many pages did she write on the fourth day ?

Answer 1

Option A

Explanation:

Sarah took 4 days to write a paper.

She wrote 12 pages per day, so total number of pages she wrote in 4 days = 12 × 4

= 48 pages

On day 1, she wrote number of pages = 12

On day 2, she wrote number of pages = 15

On day 3, she wrote number of pages = 9

On day 4, she wrote number of pages = P

She wrote total number pages in 4 days = 12 + 15 + 9 + P

= 36 + P

Therefore, P + 36 = 48

P = 48 - 36

P = 12

She wrote 12 pages on day 4.

Option A is the answer.
