priya reads3/8 pf the book oneday and 2/30f the remaining next day. if 156 pages of the book were still unread.how many pages did book contain​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let total pages be x,

then First Day she reads 3/8 pages

so, left of pages = X-3x/8 =5x/8

Now, she read of pages X=3x/8 = 5x/8

Now, she read 2/5 of reading pages other day, equal to 2/5 x 5x/8 =x/4

So, left pages =5x/8 - x/4 = 3x/8

But 3x/8 = 156 =k 156 X 8/3 = 416
