    160 pages.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    75% = 120 pages so, by proportion, 100% = 120 * 100/75

    = 120 * 4/3

    = 40 * 4

    = 160 pages.

    160 pages

    Step-by-step explanation:

    75% of x = 120

    Turn 75% into a fraction or decimal

    75/100 * x = 120

    0.75 * x = 120

    0.75 is multiplying with x so to get rid of 0.75, we have to multiply both sodes by 0.75

    x = 120/0.75

    x = 160

    So there are a total of 160 pages in the book.
