Answer:
The novel has 2160 pages.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of pages of the novel is x.
Mica has read 1/2 of the novel, so x/2 = 0.5x.
Denise has read 2/5 of the novel, so 2x/5 = 0.4x.
Mica has read 216 pages more than Denise
This means that:
0.5x - 0.4x = 216
0.1x = 216
x = 216/0.1
x = 2160
The novel has 2160 pages.
