Mark his a $10 bill inside his favorite book. He forgot the pages where he hid it. If the sum of pages where the bill is hidden is 177, on what pages will Mark find his money ?
177/2 = ?
Divide 177 by two. Look at the answer and find the two numbers to add up to 177.
To find the pages where Mark hid his $10 bill, we need to determine which pages, when summed together, add up to 177.
Let's consider the possible combinations of page numbers that would result in a sum of 177. Since Mark hid the bill inside his favorite book, we can assume that the bill is hidden on consecutive pages. Therefore, we can try various pairs of consecutive pages until we find the correct sum.
Let's start with the first two pages as our initial pair: pages 1 and 2. If we add these two numbers together, we get 1 + 2 = 3. This sum is not equal to 177, so we need to move on to the next possible pair.
Next, we'll consider pages 2 and 3: 2 + 3 = 5. Again, this sum is not equal to 177, so we'll continue with our search.
We'll keep repeating this process, incrementing the page numbers, until we find the pair (or pairs) that add up to 177.
After evaluating various pairs, we find that pages 88 and 89 satisfy our requirement: 88 + 89 = 177.
Therefore, Mark will find his $10 bill on pages 88 and 89.
