Question
A mathematics book has 360 pages, of which 50% are on ALgebra, 20% on Geometry and the remainder on Arithmetic. How many pages of arithmetic are there in the book?

Damon
50 % + 20% = 70%
then
100% - 70% = 30%
so
0.30 * 360
then
100% - 70% = 30%
so
0.30 * 360

I'm seeing that the answer is 108 pages but I can't understand how to arrive at that answer.
