If you would like to know how many days did it take Kim to read part 1 of the book, you can calculate this using the following steps:

d ... the number of days
380 pages - 20 pages * d = 160 pages
380 - 20 * d = 160
380 - 160 = 20 * d
220 = 20 * d
d = 220 / 20
d = 11 days

The correct result would be 11 days.
