Nasir read 60 pages of a book on the first day. This was 20% more than the number of pages he read on the second day. Given that he read 1/6 of the book on the second day, find the number of pages in the book he had read.

Let the number of pages Nasir reads on the second day be x.

We are given that on the first day, he read 60 pages, which was 20% more than what he read on the second day.

So, we can set up the equation:

$60 = x + \frac{20}{100} \times x$ $60 = x + 0.2x$ $60 = 1.2 x$ $x = 60/$ 1.2=50

It is also given that on the second day, he read $frac{1}{6}$ of the book, meaning:

$50 = 1/6 \times Total Pages$ $Total Pages = 50 \times 6 = 300$

The total number of pages in the book is 300
