Given : Grandpa is writing a book , He Wrote every morning and post lunch ge deletes 1/5 of total Pages written. and 20% more pages are written

To Find :  Percentage of new content  grandpa write in the morning

Solution :

Let say previous day pages  = P

& Let say he writes   x % of pages

Number of Pages Written = (x/100)P

= Px/100

Total Pages = P + Px/100

= P(100 + x)/100

Deletes 1/5th

P(100 + x)/500

Remaining pages at end of the day

= P(100 + x)/100 - P(100 + x)/500

= 4P(100 + x)/500

at the end of the day the content of his book is still 20% more than at the end of the previous day

=> P + (20/100)  = 120P/100

120P/100 = 4P(100 + x)/500

=> 150 = 100 + x

=> x = 50

50% Content Grandpa write in morning
