Question

Arlene read 30 pages. That is 10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read. How many pages read?

Answer 1

Let t be the number of pages Taylor read.
Arlene read 30 = t/2 + 10 pages.
t/2 = 20.
Taylor read 40 pages.
Arlene and Taylor read 30 + 40 = <<30+40=70>>70 pages together. Answer: \boxed{70}.
