Question 61
Reenu read 15th pages of a book. If she reads further 40 pages, she would have read 710th pages of the book. How many pages are left to be read?
Let the total pages of the book be x.
According to the question, 15x+40=710x⇒40=710x−15x=7x−2x10⇒40=5x10⇒x=4005=80
∴ Total pages of a book =80
Hence pages lef to be read = total pages of a book- (710x)
=80−710×80
=80−56=24 pages
