Fanny was attempting to read a book within a week. On Monday, she had read
37 of the book. By Friday, she had read another 328 pages and the ratio of the number of pages read to the total number of pages was 11 : 12. Find the average number of pages Fanny should have read each day to complete the book in a week.

3x12 = 36 u |
4x12 = 48 u |
7x12 = 84 u |

+ 328 |
- 328 |
|
Friday |
11x7 = 77 u |
1x7 = 7 u |
12x7 = 84 u |
Number of pages that Fanny read
= 77 u - 36 u
= 41 u
41 u = 328
1 u = 328 ÷ 41 = 8
Total number of pages
= 84 u
= 84 x 8
= 672
Average number of pages to read per day
= 672 ÷ 7
= 96
Answer(s): 96
