Question

I have read 3/4part of a book. If the remaining number of pages is 44, what is the total number of pages in the book?
​

Answer 1

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pages in a full book be x.

Given that you have read ¾ of the book,

Book already read = ¾ of x or ¾x

Thus, Remaining pages of book would be-

No of pages in entire book - Number of pages already read = x-¾x

=¼x. -----(1)

Also Given that No of Pages remaining is 44. -----(2)

From (1) and (2)

¼x = 44

Therefore

x = 44 X 4

x = 176

Therefore number of pages in the book(taken as x) is 176.

Answer 2

Answer:

176 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Part of book which is read = 3/4

Remaining part of book which is not read = 1/4

Remaining pages of book which is not read = 44 pages     .. (1)

Let the total number of pages in a book = x

So, number of pages which are not read = 1/4 of x = x/4     .. (2)

From (1) and (2):

x/4 = 44

x = 44 × 4

x = 176

Thus, total number of pages in a book = 176 pages.
