Answer:

2898

Explanation:

number of people * number of pages in each book they read =total

mystery bookclub:

5 * 1,296 = 6480

fantasy bookclub:

9 * 398 = 3582

mystery - fantasy = difference in books between the two groups

6480 - 3582 = 2898

possible equation:

(1296 x 5) - (398 x 9) = x

x = answer
