Question

Jerry read 456 pages from his book on Saturday and 324 pages on Sunday. There are 1,000 pages in the book. How many pages more does he have to read?

• A. 770
• B. 1,000
• C. 230
• D. 1,230

Answer 1

The correct option is C 230

Number of pages read on Saturday = 456

Number of pages read on Sunday = 324

Total number of pages in the books = 1,000

Total pages Jerry has read = Sum of pages he read on Sunday and Saturday

= 456 + 324

Let's add the numbers using vertical addition.

Vertical addition is a method of adding where the numbers are lined up in columns according to their place values.

Therefore, the total number of pages he read in two days is 770.

Number of pages he has to read = Total number of pages – Number of pages he has read

= 1,000 – 770

Let's subtract the numbers using vertical subtraction.

Vertical subtraction is a method of subtracting where the numbers are lined up in columns according to their place values.

Therefore, the total number of pages he has to read is 230.
