Question

Omar is reading a 392-page novel. He has read 15 pages more than 1/2 of the number of pages in the novel. Which equation can be used to find p, the number of pages Omar has read?

Group of answer choices

first choice: 1/2p + 15 = 392

second choice: (392 / 2) +15 = p

third choice: p + 15 = 392 /2

fourth choice: 15p + 1/2p = 392

Answer 1

2nd choice 392/2+15 = p

= 196+15 = 211 pages read of the 392 page novel

he's read 15 more than half the novel

that's 15+ half of 392 = 15+ 392/2 or 392/2 + 15
