Alice reads an equal number of pages of a story each day. After another 4 days, she has 180 pages left to read. How many pages are there in the storybook?
How many pages has she read before the 4 days?
180pages
180 pages before the 4 days?
180 pages left to read?
Add.
To find the total number of pages in the storybook, we need to determine the number of pages Alice reads each day.
Let's assume that Alice reads x pages of the storybook each day.
According to the given information, after 4 days, Alice has 180 pages left to read.
In 4 days, Alice reads a total of 4x pages because she reads x pages per day.
So, the equation becomes:
Total number of pages - (Number of pages read per day x Number of days) = 180
Let's solve the equation to find the value of x:
Total number of pages - (x * 4) = 180
Reorganizing the equation, we get:
Total number of pages = 180 + (x * 4)
To find the total number of pages, we need an additional piece of information.
