 jake is reading a 168 page book at a rate of 24 pages per day
x number of days 

 168 - 24 x   = 168 - 24(5 ) =  48 


Jake will have 48 more pages  to read



Julio his reading rate is 1 1/4 times Jake’s rate =  5/4 (24) = 30

julio’s book is 180

180 - 30(x) = 180- 30(5)= 180-150= 30 pages left to read 

How many more? 

48 -30 = 18 more pages
