Question

A person reads2÷3 of a book.he finds that there are 27 pages left to be read.how many pages are there in the book

Answer 1

Answer:

81 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages be x

if 27 pages were left to be read

therefore x - 27 pages were read

2/3 of the book was read

therefore 2/3 of x = x- 27

on solving this you will get x = 81
