Answer:

(1159-72)÷40= 27 it would take her 27 days

Step-by-step explanation:

if she initially read 72 you would subtract that from the original number of pages she had to read, then divide the number that's left with how many pages she read a day after that which is 40. to get a total of 27 days to read
