well he has read 28.75 pages from what I got figuring it out.
I estimate it would take him 9 and 3/8 days to finish the book at that rate:)
hope it helps
Let the number of pages he has read be x
then the number of pages not read is 103-x
"He has read three pages more than one fourth of the number of pages he hasn't yet read." -----> x-3 = 1/4(103-x)
4x-12 = 103-x
5x = 115
x = 23
He has read 23 pages.
103/8 = 12.875
So estimate it would take 13 days to read the books from the beginning.
