Answer :
Answer:
242 pages.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of pages that Claudia read last week.
We have been given that Claudia is reading a book that has 360 pages. She read some of the book last week. She plans to read 46 pages today. When she does,she will be 4/5 of the way through the book.
The number of total page left after reading 46 pages and x pages last week will be equal to 4/5 of 360.
We can represent this information in an equation as:
[tex]x+46=\frac{4}{5}\cdot 360[/tex]
Let us solve for x.
[tex]x+46=4\cdot 72[/tex]
[tex]x+46=288[/tex]
[tex]x+46-46=288-46[/tex]
[tex]x=242[/tex]
Therefore, Claudia read 242 pages last week.
