A book has 98 pages plus two thirds of it's total number of pages.
How many pages has the book?

OK, so 98 pages plus covers makes a nice 100, plus 66 as being 2/3rds or thereabouts, so lets start at 166 pages

98 = one third so 2 x 98 equals two thirds would be 196 therefore 294 pages.

I thought this was the answer but kept second-guessing myself I should trust my gut in future!
