Question

A magazine has 110 pages. There are 23 full-page ads and 14 half-page ads. The rest of the magazine consists of articles. Write an equation that can be used to find the number of pages of articles in the magazine

Answer 1

x + 30 = 110, x = 80

Explanation:

The magazine has 23 full-page and 14 half-page ads,

→ There are 23 + 14/2 = 23 + 7 = 30 pages ads.

Let x represent the number of pages of articles in the magazine. Since the magazine has 110 pages in total,

→ The number of pages of ads + The number of pages of articles = Total pages

→ 30 + x = 110

→ x = 80
