[Question]Camden just bought 3/4 times as many dogs as Rico, who has 10 more dogs than Justin. If Justin has 14 dogs, what's the total number of legs that Camden's dogs have?
[Answer]If Justin has 14 dogs, Rico, who has 10 more dogs than Justin, has 14 + 10 = 24 dogs. Since Camden just bought 3 / 4 times as many dogs as Rico, he bought 3 / 4 * 24 = 18 dogs. A dog has four legs, so Camden's 18 dogs have 18 * 4 = 72 legs. The answer is 72.

How many pages does he have to read on Saturday to reach his goal?
