Let $\"+n+\"$ = the number of pages he read on the 2nd day
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+60+=+n+%2B+.2n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.2n+=+60+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+50+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+60+%2B+50+=+110+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "He read 110 pages of the book
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "I think the fact that he read 1/6 of the book
\n" ); document.write( "on the 2nd day is not relevant to the problem
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
