Tyler read 2/15 of a book on monday, 1/3 of it on tuesday, 2/9 of it on wednesday and 3/4 of the remainder on thursday. if he still has 14 pages left to read on friday, how many pages are there in the book?

Total number of pages are 60 there in the book.

Step-by-step explanation: Let us assume total number of pages by x.

On Monday 2/15 of total pages were read that is = 2/15x pages

On Tuesday = 1/3 x.

On Wednesday = 2/9 x

Remaining pages on Thursday = x-2/15x-1/3 x -2/9 x

On Thursday total pages were read= 3/4 of the remainder = 3/4 ( x-2/15x-1/3 x -2/9 x).

Remaining pages on Friday = 3/4 ( x-2/15x-1/3 x -2/9 x).

We are given that one Friday 14 pages left.

Therefore,

3/4 ( x-2/15x-1/3 x -2/9 x) =14

Multiplying both sides by 4, we get

Multiplying both sides by 15, we get

Total number of pages are 60 there in the book.
