If 2/5 th of a book and 10 additional pages are read, 110 pages of
the book are left to be read How many pages does the book have??

Dear Student ,
let the total no of pages in the book be 'a'
total no of pages = no of pages read + no of pages left to
read
a = 2a/5 + 10 + 110
5 x a = 2a + 50 +550
3a = 600
a = 200
There are 200 pages in the book
