A class read 3,452 the first week and read 4,090 more pages the second week than on the first week. How many pages had they tead by the end of the second week

Question

1. How many pages did they read by the end of the first week?

Answer 1

If the class read 4090 more pages the second week than the first, then they read:

 

3452 + 4090 = 7542 pages the second week. 

 

By the end of the second week, they had read the sum of the # of pages read in week 1 + # of pages read in week 2

 

Writing this out, we get:

 

3452 + 7542 = 10994 pages
