Question

Madison and Allie have a goal to read 3,300 pages together by the end of 3rd quarter. Madison reads 50 page every day Allie reads 10 more pages every day than madison reads. Write and solve an equation to show how many days it will take them to read 3,300 pages

Answer 1

It will take Madison and Allie 30 days to read 3,300 pages

Explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of pages Madison reads every day = 50

Number of pages Allie reads every day = 60 (10 more pages every day than Madison reads)

2. Write and solve an equation to show how many days it will take them to read 3,300 pages.

Number of days it will take Madison and Allie to read 3,300 pages = x

Writing and solving the equation:

50x + 60x = 3,300

110x = 3,300

x = 3,300/110

x = 30

It will take Madison and Allie 30 days to read 3,300 pages
