Question

A textbook has a total of 892 pages. It is divided into two parts. The second part of the book has 52 pages less than the first part. How many pages are there in the second part of the book?

• A. 464
• B. 482
• C. 472
• D. 420

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 420

first part =A

second part =A-52

$A+A-52=892$

$2A=892+52$

$A=944/2$

$A=472$

second part is $A-52+472-52=420$
