The author of a book was told that he would have to cut the number of pages by 20% for the book to sell at a poplar price and still make a profit. If the book contained 257 pages, how many pages were in the original form?

Maybe the answer is 20mm. all i really did was just multiply, which is obvious.

The 8th term is 512

The answer is 270 cars.you can do this by making a proportional relationship. for instance, 200 is the whole we are using, so on a “number line” 200 would be over 100%. now, since he sells 35% more, add 35% to 100% to get 135% on the other side of the “number line” on the bottom half, leaving the top half empty.cross multiply 200 by 135 then divide by 100 to get your answer. i hope this , if it did, , if you don’t mind, giving me brainiest! 200/100% } 200 • 135 /100 ? /135%
