Bob is reading a 445 page book. He has already read 157 pages. If he reads 24 pages a day, how long will it take him to finish the book?

Total number of days to complete book is 12 days

Number of pages in book = 445

Number of pages already read = 157

Number of pages read per day = 24

Total number of days to complete book

Total number of days to complete book = [445 - 157] / 24

Total number of days to complete book = 288 / 24

Total number of days to complete book = 12 days

12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation with y = mx + b, where m is the rate and b is the y-intercept (starting value)

Let x represent how many days it takes and y represent how many pages he read:

445 = 24x + 157

Solve for x:

288 = 24x

12 = x

So, it will take him 12 days to finish the book
