Nick has read the first 56 pages of a 152-page book. He plans to read 12 pages per day until he finishes. Which of these shows the equation and solution for d, the number of days it will take Nick to finish his book?

d = (152 - 56) ÷ 12
d = 96 ÷ 12
d = 8

Nick needs 8 more days to finish the book after he has read teh first 56 pages.
