Answer:

There are 90 pages in the book

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to think as an equation

We are going to have to subtract from the total number of pages that we do not know, 40% of that same total and we will equal that with 54

40​% = 40/100

t = total pages

t - (t * 40/100) = 54

t - 0.4t = 54

0.6t = 54

t = 54 / 0.6

t = 90

There are 90 pages in the book
