Answer:

240 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To find the total number of pages in the book, we can use this equation: [tex]\frac{10}{100}x = 24[/tex] .

  • This equation means that 10% of something = 24, which correctly represents out situation.

2. (Solving)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

  • [tex]\frac{10}{100}x = 24[/tex]
  • [tex]\frac{1}{10}x=24[/tex]

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 10.

  • [tex]\frac{1}{10}x * 10 = 24 * 10[/tex]
  • [tex]x = 240[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is 240 pages.
