Answer:
Option B is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jen decides to read 100 pages the first day and 50 pages each day thereafter.
Number of pages read by Jen per day = 50
Number of pages read by Jen on first day = 100
Ariel's progress on reading the book is represented by the linear function y = 40x + 80, where y is the total number of pages read after x days.
Number of pages read by Ariel per day = 40
Number of pages read by Ariel on first day = 40 + 80 = 120

Jen reads 20 pages per day more than Ariel
