The price of a book can be modeled by the equation below, where P = the price of the book, 20 is the printing charge, 0.5 is the charge per page, and x = the number of pages. :
P = (20 + 0.5x) + 0.15(20 + 0.5x)

Ooh.  This time you have to plug in the 62.10 to the P and solve for x.  Let me see if I can help.  I know that the new equation is now62.10=(20+0.5x)+0.15(20+0.5x)
