Susan read 17 pages today. That is 8 pages fewer than 13 of the pages she read yesterday. How many pages did she read yesterday?(1

Answer 1

Let x be the number of pages Susan read yesterday.

Susan read x - 8 pages today.
x - 8 = 17
x = <<25=25>>25
Susan read 25 pages yesterday. Answer: \boxed{25}.

Answer 2

Let's assume the number of pages Susan read yesterday is "x".

According to the information given, Susan read 8 pages fewer than 13 of the pages she read yesterday.

So, 13x - 8 = 17.

To find the value of x, we can solve this equation.

Adding 8 to both sides of the equation, we get:

13x = 17 + 8
13x = 25

Dividing both sides of the equation by 13, we get:

x = 25 / 13

Therefore, Susan read approximately 1.92 pages yesterday.

Answer 3

To find out how many pages Susan read yesterday, we need to subtract 8 from the number of pages she read today (17).

Let's call the number of pages she read yesterday 'x'.

According to the given information, 17 is 8 pages fewer than 13 of the pages she read yesterday. In other words, 17 is 13 pages minus 8 pages of what she read yesterday.

So we can set up the equation:

17 = 13x - 8

Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of 'x', which represents the number of pages Susan read yesterday.

Adding 8 to both sides of the equation, we have:

17 + 8 = 13x

Simplifying, we get:

25 = 13x

Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by 13, we find:

x = 25 / 13

Therefore, Susan read approximately 1.92 pages yesterday (rounded to two decimal places).
