Answer:

The number of days Jamie needs to read to complete her assignment = 11 days.

Explanation:

Jamie's summer homework assignment is to read more then 500 pages of books.

She read a book that had 282 pages.

Remaining pages to be studied = 500 - 282 = 218

She plans to complete the rest of the assignment by reading 20 pages a day.

Therefore the number of days Jamie needs to read to complete her assignment =
(218)/(20) = 11 days.
