Question

In a magazine, 15% of the pages are

covered in pictures. If the remaining 51
pages of the magazine are text, how
many pages are in the entire magazine?

Answer 1

60 pages

Explanation:

0.15x + 51 = x

51 = x - 0.15x

51 = 0.85x

51/0.85 = x

X = 60 (0.15 * 60 = 9 pages covered with pictures)
