If you buy a pamphlet for $20.00 or copy the pamphlet for $.10 per page, and the prices are the same, how many pages does the pamphlet have?
20 / 0.10 = ?
200 pages
20 divided by .10
To find the number of pages in the pamphlet, we can set up an equation using the given information.
Let's assume the number of pages in the pamphlet is "x."
If you buy the pamphlet, the cost is $20.00. So the equation for buying the pamphlet would be:
20 = 0.10x
On the other hand, if you decide to copy the pamphlet, the cost is $0.10 per page. So the equation for copying the pamphlet would be:
0.10x = 20
To determine the number of pages in the pamphlet, we can solve either equation for "x." Let's solve the equation for buying the pamphlet:
20 = 0.10x
To solve for "x," we divide both sides of the equation by 0.10:
20/0.10 = 0.10x/0.10
200 = x
Therefore, the pamphlet has 200 pages.
