Question

You read a certain amount of books each month. Each book has the same amount of pages. You read 3/4 of the pages in one week, then 1/20 of the remaining pages the next two weeks. You have one week left and 20 pages left. How many pages do you read a month? What about a year? How many pages will you read in 5 years?

Answer 1

\[1-[(3/4)+(1/4)(1/20)] \] this should give you 19/80 and set that equal to 20/x then solve for x to find the number of pages read a month. for a year multiply it by 12 and for 5 years multiply it by 75
