0.35x = 98
Solve for x.
Solve for x.
35% of the pages = 98 colored pages
Let x represent the total number of pages in the book.
We can set up the proportion as:
35/100 = 98/x
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
35x = 100 * 98
35x = 9800
Divide both sides of the equation by 35:
x = 9800/35
Simplifying the fraction gives:
x = 280
Therefore, there are 280 pages in the whole book.
1. Start by setting up a proportion to find the percentage of colored pages:
35% of the pages = 98 colored pages
2. Let's assume the total number of pages in the book is represented by the variable 'x'. Now we can set up the proportion:
(35/100) * x = 98
3. Solve for 'x' by cross-multiplying and then dividing:
(98 * 100) / 35 = x
Simplifying the calculation:
9800 / 35 = x
280 = x
Therefore, there are 280 pages in the whole book.
