Answer 1

The number of pages in 3 textbooks are ; 424 pages, 290 pages, and 286 pages.

The total number of pages in the three books is;

$N=424+290+286=1000\text{ pages}$

To complete the three books in ten days ( before the exam), Marc must read one-tenth of the total pages daily.

Since, He plans to read an equal amount each day.

The number of pages P he should read in the first day is;

$P=\frac{1000}{10}=100\text{ pages}$

He should read 100 pages in the first day.
