pearl read 10 pages of a book on monday.she read 1/3 of the remainder on tuesday. if she still had 24 paages of read l, how many pages were there in the book?
since she read the 1/3 of the remaining part, hence 2/3 of the remaining part is 24 so therefore the remaining part was actually 36 pages (24 + 12). add the 10 pages read on Monday so we get 46 pages.
