0.12 part of a file has been destroyed. If
560 pages remain, how many pages have
been destroyed?​

Answer 1

= 67 .2

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.12 of an X file gives a remainder of 560

0.12xX=560

Make X the subject of the formula

Ie. 560/0.12= 4666 page(original amount of page of the file).

Then amount of pages destroyed is equal to Original number of pages - Remains of pages

Ie. 4666-560= 4106 pages destroyed.
