Answer 2

Answer:

200 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total no of pages in the book be 'a'

total no of pages = no of pages read + no of pages left to read

                          a = 2a/5 + 10 + 110

                    5 x a = 2a + 50 +550

                         3a = 600

                           a = 200

There are 200 pages in the book
