In a printing an article of 21,000 words a printer decides to use two sizes of type using a larger type a printed page contains 1,200 word using the smaller type the page contains 1500 words the article is allotted 16 full pages in a magazine how many pages must be the larger type

Answer 1

Let x be the number of pages printed with the larger type.
Then the number of pages printed with the smaller type is 16 - x.
The total number of words printed with the larger type is 1200x.
The total number of words printed with the smaller type is 1500(16 - x).
The total number of words in the article is 21000.
So, 1200x + 1500(16 - x) = 21000.
1200x + 24000 - 1500x = 21000.
300x = 3000.
x = 10.
Therefore, 10 pages must be printed with the larger type. Answer: \boxed{10}.
